Every year, my friend Paul would bombard me with texts, emails & occasionally videos wishing me a “Happy Birthday.”
His Christmas cards were legendary.
I grew up a fan of Pee Wee. I was lucky to become friends with Paul Reubens.
May the laughter he gave us all live on forever.

Thank you for everything @peeweeherma. If Danhausen didn’t do the tequila bar dance on a whim from Big Adventure creating a sequence of bizarre luck and events and momentum, I wouldn’t be where I am today 10000%

Dear, sweet Paul Reubens. Thank you for everything. You always encouraged me to follow my heart and do what no one else was doing – I don’t know what my life would be without you. You were a true artist and an incredible friend. I love you and miss you. pic.twitter.com/szJltVshUo

Pee Wee Herman was my first favorite anything. Before I wanted to be Marc Summers, I wanted to be Pee Wee. I went everywhere in this suit. I repeated all of his catchphrases.
I have friends who know and love Paul. My heart goes to them, and his friends and family. pic.twitter.com/quLwGMkngJ
