Billy Crystal ‘went to see’ Rob Reiner’s body to say one last thing to him

“There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to ‘mockumentary’ to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films,” the tribute to the legendary filmmaker started.

“Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner. Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens…They were a special force together – dynamic, unselfish and inspiring.

“We were their friends, and we will miss them forever,” the statement said before concluding with a quote from Reiner’s favorite Christmas move, It’s a Wonderful Life.

“‘Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?’ You have no idea.”
