The memorial service will be held in the barn. We can get our classmates to sing in the chorus, my dad can lead the service, my sister can decorate the barn, my mom can make the refreshments, we'll invite the whole town and all towns around us... I think we can do this!
In the 70s, Once you overloaded on cartoons on Saturday mornings, a Mickey Rooney movie would come on. RIP.
he's been in a few of my favorite comedies ever. RIP.
I loved the Andy Hardy movies

As one writer appropriately put it - he was the Justin Bieber of his time.
RIP Mickey
Here's the NY Times' obit: http://nyti.ms/1qdIrZn and here's my comments I wrote when I shared this on Facebook:
An extraordinary career - films in ten different decades, he made his first movie before my folks were born. This decade alone, he made eight movies and three more filming or in pre-production. A very talented man. I imagine he and Judy Garland already have a show going in some barn in the great beyond.
Finally his reign of terror is over.
8 wives in 90 something years. A good run.
Fascinating character he was, I love the golden age of the motion picture industry, he was such a big part of the movies I saw growing up on TV late in the afternoon or on Sunday
I really felt a sense of loss at this news. Rooney was such a touch point for so many films going so far back. There aren't many of his generation left and we're losing them rapidly.
Was he at this years Oscars? Seems like I "saw" him recently.
Brought to mind Tom Hatten's Family Film Festival, which many So Cal people may remember. I just looked it up and Tom Hatten is still with us.
I wasn't a fan of the Andy Hardy movies, thought they were corny when I was eight.
Did like him as Bill.
The only thing I knew him as was the voice of Santa Claus in Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. I don't know or remember watching a movie he was in. I do know he had a bunch of wives and probably a ton of alimony payments.
Yeah, he had quite a life, and would tell you all about it at length.
There aren't many of those stars left.
