Chewbacca Sad |
|
A friend of mine, Don, was one of Mayhew's best friends. I only met him once when Don and I met him for lunch in Dallas.
Very nice guy...and tallllll. |
|
He did a few local dfw call in's on sports radio - 1310 'bad radio' several years ago.
Everybody loves Chewie, but Peter Mayhew came across as a very squared away, down to earth guy as well. rip |

supernova chewbacca what a wookie |
|
He seemed like a really cool guy. Even saw Harrison Ford smiling and hugging Peter at some cast appearance a few years ago. Ford is usually about as expressive as a cigar-store indian. If he's smiling and showing affection it must have been something special.
In all seriousness, Peter seemed to really enjoy meeting fans and he bore his health problems with good humor and grace. God bless him, he was a part of my childhood memories. |

I'm gonna lose my shit in the coming years. People like Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris are gonna pass away.

The US-based mainstream media is so busy maligning & disparaging DJT that they haven't announced it yet, only on ARFCOM.

I used to see him out and about every once in a good while. From what I understand, he was a good man.
|
|
And he was scheduled for the Fan Expo in Dallas this weekend, seems he never missed a fan event. Have many an autographed item/photo op.

Rest in Peace.
He died before Disney could ruin his character. |

Have met Peter and his wife several times over the years at dog events, (we adopted our dogs through the same rescue group).
They were fun to hang out with and talk dogs, really good people. Semper Fi |
