â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Staff writer Bob Thomas in Los Angeles contributed to this report No matter that the joke was old or flat; he was Bob Hope and he got laughs The English-born Hope began in vaudeville and ended up conquering every medium He boxed for a time under the name Packy East â€â€? "I was on more canvases than Picasso" â€â€? and tried a semester in college before devoting himself to show business Steve Collins, an Army helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam, met the comedian when he ferried troops to one of Hope's 1968 Christmas shows at an Air Force base " Hope is survived by his wife; sons Anthony and Kelly; daughters Linda and Nora Somers; and four grandchildren A highly competitive golfer, he later shot in the 70s and sponsored the Bob Hope Golf Classic, one of the nation's biggest tournaments The Hopes emigrated to the United States when he was 4 and settled in Cleveland Hope, who turned 100 on May 29, rode a genial wave of success in movies, radio and television to a position unique among entertainers " Hope's awards included scores of honorary degrees; special Oscars for humanitarianism and service to the film industry; the George Peabody Award; the National Conference of Christians and Jews Award; and the Medal of Freedom from President Johnson Though he said he was afraid of flying, Hope traveled countless miles to boost the morale of servicemen Funeral plans were private He headlined in so many war zones that he had a standard joke for the times he was interrupted by gunfire: "I wonder which one of my pictures they saw?" So often was Hope away entertaining, and so little did he see his wife, Dolores, and their four children, that he once remarked, "When I get home these days, my kids think I've been booked on a personal appearance tour In between, there were such pictures as "Cat and the Canary," "The Paleface," "Louisiana Purchase," "My Favorite Blonde," "That Certain Feeling," "I'll Take Sweden" and "Boy, Did I get a Wrong Number troops, Hope took his show on the road to bases, field hospitals, jungles and aircraft carriers around the world, peppering audiences with a fusillade of brief, topical gags "I can't tell you how beautiful and serene and peaceful it was," daughter Linda Hope told a news conference In 1938, he was hired by Pepsodent to create his own show, and that led him to Hollywood He gave us each a kiss and that was it," she said He received honorary knighthood in England in 1998 In recent years, his hearing eroded, although he refused to wear a hearing aid " In the mid-'90s, Hope played charity dates around the nation, but he slowed his schedule "The fact that there was a little audience gathered around, even though it was family, I think warmed dad's heart He suffered recurring eye problems, and in recent years was unable to communicate America Mourns Death of Bob Hope at 100 Jul 29, 6:36 AM EST Bob Hope's one-liners gently poked fun at presidents, blunted the sting of combat for American soldiers from World War II to the Gulf War, and ultimately made him the most revered of American comics He played his first camp show at California's March Field on May 6, 1941, seven months before Pearl Harbor He later switched to Bob because it sounded "chummier," he said He really felt for us," said Collins, 56, of San Diego The family also planned an Aug '" Hope's humor lacked malice, and he made himself the butt of many jokes "And I'll have a few routines on the way to the big divot ' He said, 'I don't do that anymore By 1930, he had reached vaudeville's pinnacle â€â€? The Palace â€â€? and in the '30s he played leading parts in such Broadway musicals as "Roberta," "Ziegfeld Follies" and "Red, Hot and Blue" with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante He quickly veered from song and dance to comedy patter, and his monologue routine was born "It's as if every one of them was his kid brother," Dolores Hope once said " "He really left us with a smile on his face and no last words Hope earned a fortune, gave lavishly to charity and was showered with awards, so many that he had to rent a warehouse to store them He tried to enlist, but was told he could be of more use as an entertainer S Until increasing frailty slowed him down, Hope repeatedly pledged never to quit entertaining Leslie Towns Hope was born in 1903 in Eltham, England, the fifth of seven sons of a British stonemason and a Welsh singer of light opera "You knew where the guy's heart was One of them centered on former President Nixon and the Watergate scandal During "Roberta," he met nightclub singer Dolores Reade and invited her to the show His Christmas tours became tradition He died Sunday of pneumonia at his Toluca Lake home, publicist Ward Grant said Monday In 1950, he entered television, and his successes continued On his 100th birthday, he was too frail to take part in public celebrations, but was said to be alert and happy â€â€? and overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection "The nation lost a great citizen," President Bush said Monday When Hope went into one of his monologues, it was almost as though the world was conditioned to respond He also appeared more than 20 times at the Academy Awards, first on radio and than on TV, as presenter, cohost or host between 1939 and 1978 "Bob Hope served our nation when he went to battlefields to entertain thousands of troops from different generations " In 1990, he traveled to the Persian Gulf to entertain troops preparing for war with Iraq His more than 60-year association with the network was said to be a record He was the author or co-author of 10 books, including his 1990 autobiography, "Don't Shoot, It's Only Me His family was at his bedside "You never tire of talking with your best friends Remembering how classmates had ridiculed his feminine-sounding name, Hope changed it to Lester when we began vaudeville "He can't believe that this is happening and that he's made it to his Big 100," son Kelly Hope said at the time 27 Mass and memorial tribute Paramount signed him for "The Big Broadcast of 1938," in which he introduced the song that became his trademark: "Thanks for the Memory After a few guest radio spots, Hope began working regularly on a Bromo Seltzer radio program " He was "the best loved, most admired and most successful entertainer in all of history God bless his soul He also worked as a caddy and developed a lifelong fondness for golf " Hope had a reputation as an ad-libber, but he kept a stable of writers and had filing cabinets full of jokes As the 20th century's good humor delivery man for U He never let a good joke die â€â€? if it got a laugh in Vietnam, it would get a laugh in Saudi Arabia " "It's hard for me to imagine a world without Bob Hope in it," said Woody Allen, who cited Hope's 1942 film "Road to Morocco" for pointing him toward comedy Because Saudi Arabia bars female entertainers, he had to leave Marie Osmond and the Pointer Sisters behind in Bahrain I've seen too many wars I said, 'Pardon me The boy helped out by selling newspapers and working in a shoe store, a drug store and a meat market Later, Hope said he was "just praying they get an honorable peace so our guys don't have to fight What was billed as his last NBC special, "Laughing with the Presidents," focusing on his long friendships with many occupants of the White House, aired in late 1996 His traditional Christmas tours began in 1948, when he went to Berlin to entertain GIs involved in the airlift His 1966 Vietnam Christmas show, when televised, was watched by an estimated 65 million people, the largest audience of his career Hope never had a regular straight man, but he worked often with crooner Crosby, starting in radio Crosby helped make Hope's nose famous as a "droop snoot" and a "ski run " Along with family members, Hope's longtime caregivers and a priest were present when he died His golf scores and physical attributes, including his celebrated ski-jump nose, were frequent subjects: "I want to tell you, I was built like an athlete once â€â€? big chest, hard stomach Hope started playing to troops well before the United States entered World War II They found themselves in the backwash of the 1907 depression They married in 1934 "I'm not retiring until they carry me away," he said "Audiences are my best friends," he liked to say We extend our prayers to his family " For his part, Hope replied: "Only in Hollywood could a meatball make so much gravy But his initially hawkish views on Vietnam opened a gap between the comedian and young Americans opposed to the war, who sometimes heckled him "I bumped into Gerald Ford the other day " He made 53 films from 1938 to 1972 " Soon he was teaming with Bing Crosby in the seven "Road" pictures â€â€?
