George Burns was scheduled to give the eulogy at his best friend Jack Benny's, however he was too overcome with emotion & grief so it fell to Bob Hope who said
'Jack you were stingy to the end, you only gave us 78 years, we wanted more'Now I can say the same about Bob,you only gave us 100, we wanted more. RIP Bob
