You made me curious, and I'm looking it up.

Looks like he had two kids. He was also an ordained minister.

On wikipedia, there were some speakers at his funeral and the spoke about his love for children, never condescending, etc.

I think I'd personally be more apt to believe that generally throughout life he did a lot for kids and children and must have enjoyed their company and interests, and I'm guessing even for his neighborhood kids. If there were any aggreived neighbors, then who knows, you really can't please all people all of the time, no matter who you are, right?

He did have children. What I won't share about him on here relates to that.

"Every summer he spends a month with his family on Nantucket. There, and most other places he visits, Fred finds, "People who meet me often say, 'You must throw things and get furious and scream just like everyone else.' But I don't," insists Mister Rogers. "That kind of statement says more about the people who are making it than it does about me."

The people I know were the actual children who lived next to him. So you're questioning the opinions of children--the very people you're guessing about.

I'm not hinting at abuse. I'm not hinting at anything. I'm merely saying that I won't elaborate on other things I know about the family.

That quote of his denying that he's human should tell you something.

Why on earth you would question what little children who lived next to him thought of him is beyond me.

I've never heard the saying either. It's clear that she's insulting me. That's all we need to understand.
