One of my favorite comedians I grew up watching on television during the mid 1970s passed away on Friday in his native Mexico. Roberto Gomez Bolanos who went the stage name Chespirito due to his short size died last Friday at the age of 85. Chespirito was the creator of the characters The Crimson Grasshopper, The Kid From Number Eight, Dr Chapatin, Chompiras and others. I will always remember him for his parodies of historical events and characters. He was influenced by the comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy. I learned that from the Huffington Post report. He was one of my three favorite comedians of Latin descent which included the late Mario Moreno (Cantiflas) and the late Gaspar Henaine who used the stage name Capulina that I remember from my youth growing in the former Canal Zone in Panama watching their television shows on movies on the Panamamian television stations which were R P C TV Channel 4 and TV N Channel 2 or in the theaters in Panama City Panama. The reason I admired their work in television and movies was that only can they make you laugh with their jokes but also teach a life lesson. Chespirito now will join his late brother Horacio Gomez Bolanos, the late Ramon Valdez, the late Raul "Chato" Padilla and the late Angelines Fernandez who were the major characters on the Kid From Number Eight television show. His former cast members who worked with Chespirito are mourning the passing of their mentor and co-worker. What I liked about the satires of historical characters was that he did mention what he liked like soccer and boxing since in his childhood he did box and play soccer. Chespirito may have left us but his shows will live on forever in the hearts of those of us that watched his television shows and movies. I know the pain that many of us felt when Robin Williams left us this year. Goodbye Chespirito say hello to your fellow comedians when he get to your reward one day. Those of us who watched his shows will miss a giant among men who made the world a better place before he left us. I remember a line from Star Trek The Wrath Of Khan when Dr Spock died in the movie. One of the crew members told Kirk that Spock was not really dead as long as he is remembered.
