He was that uncle we kids couldn't WAIT to arrive at the reunion or the cookout. It wasn't on til that uncle arrived. THAT'S who John was to me....like my favorite uncle that was always up to stuff with the kids and the men. ❤
A truly great man. I remember Billy Crystal telling the story at his funeral about how Billy fell and broke his leg, and without a second thought, John picked him up and carried him all the way to the hospital. That's the mark of a true friend.
I don't get why they asked him to lose so much weight for that film. (100 pounds, an unhealthy amount to lose in a single summer) .. His original weight wouldn't have detracted from his character -- if anything, it would lend even more authenticity to the comedy.
A true Canadian treasure. My late husband had the honour of working with him, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Catherine O'Hara, Dave Thomas and Martin Short when they were doing SCTV in Toronto. He had only praise for all of them. He said they were all "real" people, incredibly funny and kind. However, he had a special place in his heart for John Candy. Gone - but will never be forgotten.
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your husband Christine. It sounds like your husband got to experience what most of us can only wish we could have. I miss Mr. Candy to this very day, grew up watching him. Can't believe it's already been nearly 28 years
I met John Candy once when I was at the airport. We had both boarded a plane in Chicago. I was coming back from Hawaii and Candy from Mexico where he had been filming and we met at the luggage carousel in Toronto and talked while we waited for our bags. He was open and friendly and gracious. R.I.P. gentle man.
Wish i could of met him as a kid...He made me laugh so much. In troubled times (Parents divorcing, moving to another province...So many changes for a kid.) He was always there to make me laugh and still does today. I felt like i knew him...I felt close to him, he was lovable, a good soul, he was one of the rare constant in my life. Still miss you John. RIP and thank you, so very much.
@@retropat3670 wow you just made me tear up. I didn't have same family experience growing up but I loved watching him. And as an adult with lots of instability in my life, watching him makes me feel like I'm home again. :)
My dad was a carbon copy of John Candy, he was a bit big, funny, and cared about everyone else more than himself. We watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles every thanksgiving. He died suddenly just like John did. Now I can't watch the movie without tearing up.
@ Radio Haven You're lucky you had a father like that. I'd rather have a sweet, caring father who lived to be 50 than a mean, selfish asshole of a father who lives to be 100.
I watch it every Thanksgiving. Good way to kick off the holidays. John Candy just has this feel good vibe. Not that actors today don't, but the way movies were made then just makes it shine through.
One of my very favorite people. A gift to humanity, a big warm doofus with a heart of gold. You left us too soon John, thank you for the smiles and laughs ✌
We can only aspire to leave behind as lasting, as positive of a legacy as John Candy has. A man who is remembered for making others laugh, and who represented the best qualities in all of us. RIP

My mother used to ride horses with him. Every time we would go visit him on his Ranch it was an absolute enjoyment. He was and always will be my childhood hero.
That last image in "Uncle Buck" where he holds up his hand to say goodbye. I remember seeing that in the movie theater. The whole movie he was Uncle Buck. But to me. In that last image. That was John Candy. I miss him.
I had that movie along with Going Berserk and The Great Outdoors on DVD. Everytime I saw that image of him waving and smiling at the end, it always hit me like he was smiling genuinely and not by the script. Wish he was still around for my generation but I still appreciate his past works
@4862cjc John died while they were filming "Wagons East" and they had to rewrite the movie so they could finish it with the video they had of John. That's why I say it is his last movie. Fortunately they were almost finished when he died.
I watch Planes Trains and Automobiles every year the night before thanksgiving to start getting in the holiday mood . And I watch Summer rental every spring waiting on summer to come.
John Candy was a great man, who put other people first. How ironic as he was such a big man. And one definition of a great man, is someone who is willing to be little.
HEARTBREAKING WE LOST JOHN CANDY AND WHEN EVERYONE WAS TELLING THEIR TENDER STORIES OF HIM, THE ONE THAT TOUCHED ME THE MOST OCCURRED DURING ONE OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS. A MALE USHER SAID HE'D DONE THE DUTY FOR YEARS BRINGING STARS ONTO AND OFF OF THE STAGE. ONLY ONCE DID A STAR THANK HIM...JOHN CANDY.
The scene in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", still gets me. He really looks hurt when Steve Martin bashes him. Still think that scene was Oscar worthy. What a great man. RIP, Big Guy!
I was 16 years old when Mr. Candy died and he is still to this day my favorite actor. I think he was holy or something, chosen by god to be able to feel like a close friend to his fans. There is a pureness in his eyes that are unmatched. Two actor comedians I really miss are John Candy and George Carlin, but for vastly different reasons. If I had the choice to meet either, but only one I would have chosen John Candy.
I love how in some roles he really brought attention to Canada. Like in P,T,& A in the airport lounge scene hes reading a book called The Canadian Mounted
@@fifthbusiness1678 Well, of the entire American Continent - North and South - you're the only country that shouldn't be nuked back to the stone age, because you're the only civilised country there.
Check out only the lonely such a truly great and underrated movie.I think that was his best.A very hopeful ending...the best scene was when he finally got mad at his controlling mother and the conversation was about his father whod passed away many years back...tough movie not to cry through.Check it out you will really love this movie.
It's sad that most kids these days won't understand how great this man was. I'm happy i got to watch alot of John Candy back in the day growing up. I can't believe its been almost 30 years since this great man left us.
Love you Dear John...How I also enjoyed Only The Lonely....what a sweet, funny, heart-warming film. How he stood up to his Mom on behalf of his Gal! Now, that was a real man; a true gentleman. Miss you so much...R.I.P 😔💐😌
John Candy was a class act, a great actor, and very funny. I loved all of his movies, but particularly “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” and “Uncle Buck”. What you saw on screen wasn’t acting. That was how he was in real life. Just a real genuine guy. I don’t think there was ever a person as loved as John Candy was. Gone way too soon and is truly missed.
John Candy was possibly one of the most effortlessly funny men in Hollywood. Literally all my friends as a teenager loved his movies; we could rattle off quotes for hours. Even his 'bad' movies were good. Nobody but nobody working in Hollywood today has 1/10 of the heart that Candy had. His earnestness and sincerity were seemingly palpable.
@@pervertedstoner69reborn70 if you where a smart man, you would understand that with such an alias you destroy everything you write, it turned in to 💩. 🤦♂️🤯
I miss the big guy every day. I had a bad time in my teens with bullying at school. I played truant one Monday, and with my meagre means to make money as a skinny 15 year old kid, I watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles. For those 90 odd minutes, I forgot. And for John Candy, Steve Martin and John Hughes, thank you. To this day, it is my favourite comedy film.
That ride in the burning car was beyond magic. And his trying to explain to the policeman what was going on, was priceless. Thanks for the great memories, we should all leave such meaningful moments to coming generations.
Steve Martin is fine actor and a great comedian. But in Planes Trains and Automobiles, the final scene in the train station when John says "Marie's been dead for eight years" his delivery is beyond perfect. It is straight from his heart to ours. It is one of those moments where only incredible talent will do. And poor Steve had to react to that moment and he didn't measure up. That's how good John Candy was. Of course if Maureen O'Hara says you're good, well, you're good. She would know.
He was humble. That's why O'Hara must have felt he wasn't aware how great actor he was and this is not merely as far as comedy scenes are concerned. He was very good in drama as well. I always find him convincing acting protective, angry, upset, strong or vulnerable also.
The great thing about John Candy is what you read about everyone who worked with him. And that was that he was a joy to work with and always humble. And even more, the general public who had the pleasure to meet him said the same. He was a true gentleman, and treated everyone he met with respect. I’m glad I grew up with his movies. They all brought great joy to us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Anyone who didn’t love Del Griffith is no friend of mine.
Saint John the Gentleman Candy, forever one of God's own Prototypes. An Earth Angel born into a world where he gave us a lift of spirits, a smile and a good oul hearty laugh. Forever at peace. Never had the blessings of meeting John but I pray that one day that I do. Love ya Uncle Buck 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
We all definitely love John Candy and he is one of the amazing actors of all times and he will never be forgotten and he is so amazing and wonderful on-screen and off screen and will always be such a wonderful memory and all of our minds forever
Whenever i see the SCTV cast reunite for any reason whatsoever, it puts a smile on my face the same way it would put a smile on John Candy's face looking down and seeing how much we all loved him.
A captivating Actor, not just a comedian . His humanity and decency shone through . Never detracted from.any role he played always added to his movies . What more can you say about a man ? His epitaph . He always made you feel better .RIP big guy . You were a giant as an actor and person .
This guy went way before his time, loved him growing up. The final scene in Uncle Buck of him saying goodbye brings a tear to my eye every single time.
You don't experience emotion, so that's a lie, you have no empathy so this is a lie? What do you think next, that this is a lie? Well then your life is a meaningless lie and you never will know truth.
I've watched Uncle Buck around 10 times now, it never gets old. Years and years go by, but just like you, I always tear up a bit when he waves that final goodbye. John was truly a gift to the world, he was something special, and I am so thankful he spent his time on this earth makes us all laugh and cry.
I remember watching Cool Runnings at the cinema. He had already passed while it was being shown. The packed audience was there for him. They were all in mourning. It was a funny movie but everybody looked sad. I was only 12 but all my age group loved him. Kids loved him because he was a big kid at heart. His choice of movies were no accident. They always had a warmth and heart to them with family values, just like John.
As well as being from Mr. Candy's home town Newmarket, Ontario. I had the greater sense that he was like a rock star...and yet John was always around the corner. My mother recalled driving up the big hill on Main Street in Newmarket...and all at once having to jam her brakes on! She wanted to know who the mindless numbskull was...sure enough it was JC feigning a heart attack! Mom couldn't help but smile and say...get outta the way John! He smiled and went about his day. Love ya Johnny!
John Candy was such an amazing person. His comedic acting was something special, but the way he conducted himself as a person was amazing. You can tell that Aykroyd really misses him. RIP
He’s made my life better in many ways. He was there throughout my childhood I watched everything he did and I never turned it off or wanted to watch something else. John Candy is a Saint. RIP my fabulous friend I never met.
John Candy unquestionably made my childhood better. What a gift he gave us.
Rest In Peace.
Amen 🙏.
I never forget his movies 😃
He was that uncle we kids couldn't WAIT to arrive at the reunion or the cookout. It wasn't on til that uncle arrived. THAT'S who John was to me....like my favorite uncle that was always up to stuff with the kids and the men. ❤
yeah, same
I never followed celebrity, but I shed a tear when he passed. He was just an honest guy, making us laugh.
Yes he did.
Don't be sad he's gone, be happy he was here.
Beaky Turf Namaste.
can do both
Hey!😃Now, I like that!
Can't help it. Still sad. Dearly miss that sweet, funny man.
Amen.
A truly great man. I remember Billy Crystal telling the story at his funeral about how Billy fell and broke his leg, and without a second thought, John picked him up and carried him all the way to the hospital. That's the mark of a true friend.
Wow🙏🏼🙏🏼
i PINNED you to 100 likes today.
Weren't they both visiting sick kids at the hospital when that happened? 😊
WOW!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always a John Candy fan. His legacy definitely lives on!
The final shot in Planes, Trains, And Automobiles still makes me tear up every time. His passing makes it hit so much harder.
I know the feeling. John . A great man. I never met him personally. Canadian Bacon was his last movie. He died while filming. He was epic.
Tear up?? I'm bawling 😅
I don't get why they asked him to lose so much weight for that film. (100 pounds, an unhealthy amount to lose in a single summer) ..
His original weight wouldn't have detracted from his character -- if anything, it would lend even more authenticity to the comedy.
@@AdamsOlympia maybe they were trying to save his life.
@@thenson1Halo Losing that much weight in such a short period may have killed him. It can do heart damage to lose so quick.
John Candy and Robin Williams are the only two celebrities that made me cry when they died. You felt like you knew John without ever meeting him.
I tear up thinking of belushi, Candy, Farley, williams. Hell a whole lot even Paul Walker.
This is indeed true. The man was and still in my heart is a champion.
Imagine those two yukking it up together.
I cried for John Candy a couple of times last year. And I loved Chris Farley as an actor also, his acting was amazing.
Phil Hartman 's death hit me
Nobody made me laugh like John Candy made me laugh, and he did it without being vulgar or offensive.
One of Best Comedians that ever Lived
Or act like an idiot like will farrel
His kind eyes always made his sarcasm much better
Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!!
It's all personality, whit, and hard work and thinking gotta love John candy
one of the most underrated actors ever, i love this guy
He was the definition of warm , friendly and that ''safe home feeling''.
A man with a Heart of gold
@@Rick60905True!!!!
John Candy and Rodney Dangerfield, the world is a sadder place without those two guys in it.
It's a real shame he's no longer with us the world could really use someone like John Candy again.
He'd be disgusted by what hollywoods become all the hate and greed and perversion
Well Said! 👍
What about John Candy but Chinese
Uncle Buck is such a great movie. I wish we could've watched him grow old.

old school Canadian legend. watch some of his old movies
There’s no way there can be negative comments about this guy he was too nice.
Keanu Reeves. Tom Hanks. Those two come to my mind.
True. As jaded as many YT users are, Candy is simply impossible to dislike.

Thx for posting this, as an 80's kid, he is one of my all time favorite actor and comedian. R.I.P John
The Final Scene of Uncle Buck where he and Jean Louisa Kelly wave Goodbye to each other makes me CRY LIKE A BABY, Each and Every Time

😂 yeah true absolute talent.
He died because problems of blood pressure for heart? Too much weight i guess hah

We all definitely love John Candy and he is one of the amazing actors of all times and he will never be forgotten and he is so amazing and wonderful on-screen and off screen and will always be such a wonderful memory and all of our minds forever
Amazing a 6'4" big man could play such good and gentle rolls. May John Candy R.I.P.
Whenever i see the SCTV cast reunite for any reason whatsoever, it puts a smile on my face the same way it would put a smile on John Candy's face looking down and seeing how much we all loved him.
Absolutely one of the greatest ever!!👍👍👍 you will never be forgotten 🙏🙏
John Candy . . .you are surely missed in this chaotic world which you have left us in. Thank you for the great memories.
that motel scene from Planes, Trains and Automobiles always brings me to tears - he was the best. Man I miss John Candy.
Drinking the travelers, lol!
A captivating Actor, not just a comedian . His humanity and decency shone through . Never detracted from.any role he played always added to his movies . What more can you say about a man ? His epitaph . He always made you feel better .RIP big guy . You were a giant as an actor and person .
John Candy brought light and laughter into the world, he brought light and laughter into my world.
I miss John Candy, and I never even met him.
In a world where really need laughter, he was one of the best and I love him and I'll go back. What a classic.
I am a Canadian, just like John was. He makes me proud to be one. His work was real, so great !. Wish I could of met him😊💖👍

Great line.
Who ever put this together did an excellent, amazing job, john did touch millions of hearts and lives including mine.
Such a loveable character, as soon as you seen him in a film on tv it was always a case of happy days. You are missed far and wide.
This guy went way before his time, loved him growing up. The final scene in Uncle Buck of him saying goodbye brings a tear to my eye every single time.
You don't experience emotion, so that's a lie, you have no empathy so this is a lie? What do you think next, that this is a lie? Well then your life is a meaningless lie and you never will know truth.
I've watched Uncle Buck around 10 times now, it never gets old. Years and years go by, but just like you, I always tear up a bit when he waves that final goodbye. John was truly a gift to the world, he was something special, and I am so thankful he spent his time on this earth makes us all laugh and cry.
Chanise , were going home. We're not dying.

My favorite
I remember watching Cool Runnings at the cinema. He had already passed while it was being shown. The packed audience was there for him. They were all in mourning. It was a funny movie but everybody looked sad. I was only 12 but all my age group loved him. Kids loved him because he was a big kid at heart. His choice of movies were no accident. They always had a warmth and heart to them with family values, just like John.
Such a beautiful person, how he made laugh, cry, and have empathy, I just loved his style.
As well as being from Mr. Candy's home town Newmarket, Ontario. I had the greater sense that he was like a rock star...and yet John was always around the corner. My mother recalled driving up the big hill on Main Street in Newmarket...and all at once having to jam her brakes on! She wanted to know who the mindless numbskull was...sure enough it was JC feigning a heart attack! Mom couldn't help but smile and say...get outta the way John! He smiled and went about his day. Love ya Johnny!
Thankfully Mr John Candy will never be forgotten by us mere public.......The greatest comedy actor of his time. x
John Candy was such an amazing person. His comedic acting was something special, but the way he conducted himself as a person was amazing. You can tell that Aykroyd really misses him. RIP
The world is definitely A sadder place to be without John Candy, Thank you John!!😊
From Russia with love. My favorite actor. You are greatly missed. We miss you.
So glad to own most of his movies. A member of the greats. He is sorely missed in this crappy world we find ourselves in today.
He is missed and he was a very special actor. Loved Uncle Buck!!
Great guy, John Candy. In Plains trains and automobiles with Steve Martin, I think I almost busted my guts laughing 😂 😂 😂 R.I.P. God bless!!!
He’s made my life better in many ways. He was there throughout my childhood I watched everything he did and I never turned it off or wanted to watch something else. John Candy is a Saint. RIP my fabulous friend I never met.
he left us way too early at 43, i can only imagine the amazing work he would have done.
You’re right about that!!!!
He was the greatest actor of his time. He didn't make a bad movie. He gave 110% to his roles.
I remember when I heard John Candy had passed on. I felt a deep twinge in my heart because the world had lost a kind, gentle, talented soul.
Watching this helps me with the depression I’m having right now.
Thanks for posting it.
