Bozo the Clown

Bozo the Clown has died. It is official, the Bozo the Clown has died. There will be no more Bozo Buttons, golden stars, or chocolate chip cookies for any of us, anymore.

Larry Harmon wasn't the original Bozo the Clown, but he was the real one. Harmon, who portrayed the wing-haired clown for more than half a century, died Thursday of congestive heart failure, said his publicist, Jerry Digney. He was 83.

My heart goes out to all of Bozo's family members and friends. When it comes down to it, we are all his friends. I, like many others, grew up with Bozo the Clown. I watched him every day just to see what him and Cookie were going to do.

I miss him already.
