He seemed to be doing so well, lately.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this!  But I'm glad that he didn't suffer from a long, slow decline.

I certainly didn't expect to hear this sad news today.  My condolences to those who knew him personally.  Such a great loss to all his fans as well.  May he rest in peace.

Oh my, I am so saddened to hear this news this morning.  I will always have such wonderful memories of running home from school every day to see him.

A very long life. Grateful he shared his gifts with us for as long as he did.

I am shocked and saddened.  But he has gone to a well deserved rest.

As he recited so memorably on the 1969 LP:

"Until the morning of eternity
His rest shall not begin nor end, but be:
And when he wakes,
He will not think it long."

May the Peace that Passeth all Understanding be his.

There is an update now on the link for KLS' eulogy of him:

http://www.kathrynleighscott.com/?page_id=298

Google showed an obit on a soap opera history page, too, but I didn't clip the link.  I am sure the obits will be posted as we move deeper into the day.

May his spirit be blessed.  He brought happiness and comfort to so many.

This is indeed shocking news. With everything coming up shortly in the world of Dark Shadows, I'm sure this happening was far from anyone's thoughts.

Thoughts go to his family and close friends.

I'm glad that I made it to one of the more recent fests where he was in attendance. His presence, personality and candor at the fests were a treat and added a special feeling to the overall experience.

Although he is no longer with us, his enduring legacy of Dark Shadows and the character Barnabas Collins will always be with us.

I hope he's at peace.  [ghost_sad]

Maybe it's a small comfort that he got to give a farewell to the public & his most famous role, with his cameo in the movie.

R.I.P. John Frid, you brought many of us much happiness with your work!

Very sad news. I'm still pretty speechless.

My condolences to his family and friends.
