Chandler was our favorite. He had such a delivery, I don’t think a lot of people realized how brilliant he was. RIP.

Sadly, having read his memoir, the news of his death is not surprising. It felt like he was living on borrowed time. Obviously, we don't know what happened, but people don't often drown in their hot tub without something else happening, whether it be related to substance abuse or something like a stroke or a heart attack. He seemed to have lived a pretty tormented life. Like others have said, I hope he's at peace now.

So sad!! I love "Friends" and Chandler was my favorite character on it. Matt was so funny, and struggled with so much. Poor guy. You said exactly what I was thinking, Navybelle. Matthew's death is so terribly sad. Oh my God, how drugs and alcohol can ruin someone's life! It's really tragic. Poor soul May he rest in peace.

I,too, am saddened to hear about Matthew Perry's untimely death. What a tortured life he led! Now he's finally at peace.
I did enjoy him so much as Chandler Bing and a few movies. I just learned today that his dad is also an actor and his stepdad is Keith Morrison from Dateline.

I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one. And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me. When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy I've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web... but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice."
- Matthew Langford Perry (August 19, 1969 - October 28, 2023)

I had no idea Matthew did all of that, or that he created something as wonderful as the Perry House. I'll remember him differently now, thanks to what he wrote.

This one got me almost as much as Matthew Perry. I loved Bull, he was the best character in that show, IMO.

I just saw the news about Tyler Christopher. It seems like he's had a rough time of it for the last few years. Maybe substance abuse? Mental illness? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong there. In this article, Maurice Benard's wife said that they, "...always had hope for him," so it sounds like he was troubled. 50 is just far too young and he was so talented.

The post Navybelle quoted says he was dealing with bipolar depression and alcohol addiction.

I loved what his dad (and family) posted to get ahead of the tabloids. It told the story of a good man, a kind person who was a joy to be around, who left behind a family who loved him dearly and will miss him terribly.
Looked just like his dad.

I think it won't be long now for former President Carter to join her. What a beautiful marriage they had and such an inspirational couple! May she rest peacefully. 🕊️

Aw, I'm sorry, libgirl2 . I lost it several times. Such beautiful words spoken by so many. When the choir sang "Let There Be Peace on Earth" (I love that hymn.), I began to sing, got all choked up and started sobbing. It was a beautiful service.

That is also one of my favorite hymns as well. My dad was a real peacemaker. We chose the Prayer of St. Francis for his prayer cards. It just fit him.
