Here is my Christmas wish: to leave this day, this hour, and even this minute a little better than we found it. That doesn’t always mean doing something big. If we can make even one moment better for someone else, then we win that moment, that hour, that day.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.
What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.
