    My mom and I met Richard Simmons in Cherokee, NC. We got to exercise with him and sit and chat with him. He even gave me a kiss on the cheek and a picture and autograph. A few years later, our home burned down and I was sad to have lost that picture. He sent me a new one with a very nice personal message. He was truly such a kind person. We will miss him. Thank you so much for the video. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

    I took classes at Slimmons for 4 years (1990-1994) and Richard wrote a chapter about how we met in his book "Never Give up." I'm so grateful for the time I was able to spend with him. He was brilliantly funny and had a huge heart. Most importantly, he helped millions of people feel better about themselves! He is deeply missed. Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute, Jordan.

    Great tribute. I think Richard is the first celebrity I've ever met. It was the early 80's and i was just a little girl. 8, 9 or 10 years old. He was doing a book signing at our local mall. My mom took my sister and I to meet him. He was so nice and he kissed me on the cheek, too. I'm not sure what happened to the signed book, but I asked my mom to look for it. May he Rest In Peace.

    Richard Simmons is the epitome of what being human is all about. He gave away love and spread joy as fast as he himself received it.
    Laughter is the best medicine and he was the ultimate prescription
    (remember the skit on Who's Line is it Anyways?🤣)
    Himself shall be missed but his joyous spirit will remain forever.

    I remember when I first saw Richard, as Jordan mentioned he was on General Hospital. I was a pre teen and Richard was an aerobics instructor on the show (naturally) during the hugely popular Luke and Laura era in the late 70’s, early 80’s. My friends and I loved him on the show, us small town girls had never seen anything like him and thought he was so fun. RIP Richard, you brought hope and joy to thousands of people over the years.

    I, too, met Richard while I was working as a secretary for Buena Vista Television at Disney Studios in about 1998. He came in for an appointment with the executives and was wearing a fun vest covered with humorous, colorful buttons all over it. He stopped at my desk and told me he liked my hair because it looked like Cleopatra's hair. I was flattered. He was his wacky, TV self and willing to take the time to say hello to the administrative staff. I'm glad we had an encounter and sorry to hear that Richard is gone. People really missed him when he disappeared from public life. He was such an icon.

    Welcome back to LA Jordan, thank you for this video ❤. I started following him on his CZcams and Facebook about 6 months ago, and he kept saying yes it's really me! I heard also the reason he was not seen in public anymore had to do with his bad knees 😢 both my husband and I know about this and can relate somehow. We were both exercise people also, my husband a runner, and me a roller skater. It's a little bit like losing part of your lifeline when you can no longer do the things you love to do, and exercise was his money maker and obviously his happiness ❤ RIP Richard Simmons.

    He was a Fun Personality, my Mom watched Sweatin' to the Oldies and she did the workouts in front of the TV watching Richard. I never met him, but I would Bet he was a Loving Spirit. That is the Vibe I always felt. At least this was not a Suicide, I don't want to remember him that way. Wish he had went to the Hospital... Beautiful Home, very nice place there. REST PEACEFULLY, RICHARD... Your Fun and Kind Spirit will NEVER be Forgotten... ❤❤

  • @CaraHTheRealCie
    @CaraHTheRealCie Před měsícem +6

    Richard was a good person. Nobody should be bullied for whatever size they are. That's the problem I have with the whole "war on obesity." A Health At Every Size approach is best. When exercise is encouraged without a requirement for becoming a certain size or you're a "failure," people are more likely to stick with it.
    I'm not surprised that Richard was insecure about his appearance even after obtaining a desired degree of thinness. Being bullied sticks with you. I'm almost 60 years old now. I was badly bullied throughout my childhood and teen years. The idea of "loving" myself is so foreign that I can't wrap my head around it any more than I can wrap my head around advanced calculus problems. If things go wrong, I become relentlessly hostile towards myself. I can't stand pictures of myself. I'm a published author but will never display an author photo. I think I'm the ugliest thing in the world, and that will never change.

    Again, always so sad to loose a star celebrity, nothing we can't do about that, even we die, I don't care how famous we may get, or if we have Millions of Millions of Dollars where we can pay to make ourselves to look and stay young, we will end up gone when our day comes, just some comes sooner than others, young or old. I wish we could live forever and never die but that will never happen, well sort of, someday we will live forever never to die no more, but to live forever and never die no more we must first die, our physical body will come to an end but our spiritual body will live on.
    Rest in Peace Richard Simmons, we will miss you and we love you.

    I think he was a very kind soul, and would laugh it off when people treated him not so kind. Rest in Peace Richard.
