I saw Bob Denver on an interview a few years back, and he struck me as a genuinely nice guy. Seems like a lot of television and film personalities have colossal and unbearable egos, for the most part probably completely undeserved. And then there's that rare person that seems totally different than that, almost like a next door neighbor, one that you wanted to invite over for barbeque every week or two. That's the kind of person Bob Denver struck me as.
