So long Pee-wee. I hope you find your bike in the afterlife.

RIP. He was a great comedian, and a valuable lesson to us who grew up watching. I hope wherever his spirit ends up, he can be at peace.

Noooo...not Pee Wee. That Christmas special is still hilarious.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure also still holds up really well IMO. Sad news today for sure.

I'm extremely saddened to hear this. Terrible news

What the hell? 70 is very young to die with current medical sciences. How sad.

Cancer doesn't really care how old you are, unfortunately.

Drugs can do that to a person.

So can cancer, like in this case.

The average life expectancy for men in the USA is about 77. Since it's the average, some men aren't going to be that lucky.

Loved Paul Reubens. Funny guy and the last thing I saw him in was Pushing Daisies, another great show that was cancelled.
