Dear Robert,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully they come up with a cadaver with a good lung. I only wish I were healthy enough to offer you one of mine. I'm sure I'm what they call not a good candidate because I am 67 years of age and have diabetes.

I have been a fan since you hit the Broadway stage in Camelot. I have seen you religiously since 1961 when you first appeared at the Latin Casino. Whenever you were in our Philadelphia area, I was there. I was a member of the fan club and still look forward to a wonderful Christmas card I receive each December.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen Camelot. Once during a show at the Valley Forge Music Far, I was escorted from the audience because I took a picture, even though there was no flash. I was taken to the managers office by a big burly person and had to give them my film. I was really upset, not because of losing the film, but because I missed some of the performance.

Since my daughter was old enough to understand I told her she has "Robert Goulet Eyes". Several years ago when you appeared in Wilmington we had a chance to visit and chat with you back stage and when the visit was over, her comment was his eyes are wonderful. They are beautiful and blue and so much a part of you.

You have entertained me for years with your performances on stage and on Broadway. During The Happy Times we had the opportunity to visit back stage when we saw the show and it was a highlight.

To say you have been my favorite forever, doesn't say enough. You are the best!!

I pray everything goes well for you and the family.. You are a fighter and I know when you get that new lung, I'll get to see you perform again. .

Your voice is a God given talent and I'm sure he will do whatever is necessary to keep it going until you reach 100.

Good luck, God Bless, Love and hugs from your number one fan,

Kay Sonier

I am a big fan of the crooners…big stars of yesteryear that can sing like the angels. Robert Goulet is among them. Not only is he beautiful he has a beautiful voice. I am keeping both you and Vera in my toughts and prayers. I can only hope that God gives you the strength and courage to get through this ordeal. Just know that there are people who love you and are pulling for you. Best wishes!

My love and prayers are with you. Hang in there. The world is not ready to go on without you.

Hi Vera,
Just letting you know I've got my fingers crossed, and also realizing you must have already been under duress when I bugged you with that silly stuff a few weeks ago. Apologies for that.

Vera and Robert:

I am so saddened by the news of Robert's condition. I pray that he receives his transplant and fully recouperates.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Robert in May 1978, in August 1993 and then again when he filled in for Phil Bosco in Moon Over Buffalo. We also shared the friendship of Fred Kelly.

I remain a loving fan of Robert's and may God hear my prayers for his speedy recovery.

Sincerely,

Sandi Talavera

 

Mrs Goulet:
I will keep your husband Robert and you and your children in my prayers.

I heard about your problem today, and am wishing you Godspeed for a smooth recovery.

 

Dear Mr. Goulet,

I have always admired your talent. I grew in a home where Broadway show tunes were played quite often. I knew the lyrics to all of the songs in Camelot by age 11.

I once met you after a performance of Camelot in Charlotte, NC in the early '90's. You were kind enough to grant my request to hear you sing 16 measures of If Ever I Would Leave You. It is a memory that I will always treasure!

You and your family are in my prayers. I am looking forward to seeing you perform in the future and hear one of the greatest voices on this earth. God bless you!

Brandee Carl-Werner

 

Dear Mr. Goulet and family,

I have been a fan for many, many years. It was always exciting to have you come into Bacchi's Restaurant in Lake Forest at North Lake Tahoe. I working for Bill and Sarah Hunter for several years.
I will be praying for all of you.

Sincerely.........Jerry from Pleasanton, Calfornia

Dearest Mr. and Mrs. Goulet,
Our prayers and love are with you both and we hope for all the best. I just lost my beloved dad to lung cancer (never smoked a day in his 80 year old life) on June 27th and he was and still is my hero. He and my mother loved Robert Goulet and his wonderful talents. God Bless the two of you and remember our prayers are with you.

We know this is a very hard time for you and the rest of the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We send our love to you, and best wishes to Robert for a speedy recovery.

With love,

To Mr. Goulet~
I have been a fan of yours since I was a child and my love of singing and musical performance was rooted in hearing your beautiful voice. I was so lucky to hear you perform in Camelot, a few years back. I cried the entire time I was there...in disbelief of actually hearing your voice in person.
I am praying for a lung to become available and any other medical treatments that can assist you. And I am praying for your family, during this very scary and stressful time. God be with you all...
Hang in there, Mr. G ~ We're not ready to let your voice become a memory.

Hey, Robert!

Hang in there and get well soon! When you're back on your feet and beautifying the world again with your singing, stop by in Madison and I'll buy you a cold beer and one of the best steaks you'll ever have!

Thanks for all the wonderful entertainment you've given me over the years. Everything you sing, God smiles!

Love and best wishes to you and your family!

Hope you have a transplant real soon and on the road again. Sally

 

My prayers are with you and your wife.
I first saw you in Camelot with a group of friends when I was 16. You were one of our idols at the time and we waited to see you and get your autograph outside the stage door after the show. I'm sure I still have that in my collection box!
I had been looking forward to seeing you in Denver, where we live now. And I feel a connection because I'm from Vegas and many of my family still live there, including my dad.
My best wishes for a successful recovery. Then hope to see you on stage again soon.

Nancy Bentzen

 

Dear Vera,

I have been a fan of your husband’s since I was 13, (I’m now 59) as I proved to him the 2nd time I got to meet him at Wolfe Trap, here in Virginia. The first time he invited me backstage, I met you as well. He was there in South Pacific and I had two letters he had sent me when I was 16 and 18.

Then when he was there for Man of La Mancha, he had fallen and cracked or broken some ribs, so I didn’t get invited backstage, although he did call my home and leave me two messages. I was invited back again when he was there in Camelot and I got to show him my scrap book I’d kept for years, and got my picture taken with him, which was the thrill of a lifetime.

I will keep you both in my prayers as he awaits a lung transplant. I trust God will find a donor so we do not lose this wonderful talent who was so very kind when we met.

Sincerely, Diana

My prayers are with you and your wife.

Robert and Vera,

We met nearly 12 years ago when you visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington. Your generosity, warmth and openness touched me greatly. You are two very special people. Over the years I have continued to follow news about Robert...enjoyed the commercials and terrific reviews. I was sad to read the news today about Robert's fight for his life. My family and I pray for strength for you both and the much needed transplant...so that Robert can continue to be the gift he is to so many people.

Warm regards,

Mari-Ellen Testa

I just wanted to say you are in my thoughts and prayers...He is a wonderful entertainer and singer. I am from St. Louis, Mo and saw him years ago with my family at the Muny. He was awsome and always will be. I have lit a special candle for him and asked for a special mass for him and the family...

May God Bless you all..

Robert,
I don't know if you will remember the times in the early 90s you used to come into the Sands to The Regency Room for dinner and lean on my white grand piano and horse around with me. They are some of my fondest memories and it gives me joy to relate those stories to friends and family and tell them what a friendly and kind person you are...My thoughts and prayers are with you in your ordeal and I look forward to hearing your great voice again soon...Please give my best to Vera and God Bless You.

Buddy Nash

Mr. Goulet,

I have adored you since I was a young girl. I saw you play Billy Bigelow in Carousel and was smitten. I've never been able to find a copy of that movie although I've searched for years. I've loved musicals my entire life and actually performed myself with The Southern Arizona Light Opera Company. Yes, we did Carousel..........I was only a townsperson but got to do what I so enjoy doing..........sing!

I saw you play King Arthur in Camelot right here in Tucson, Arizona. My seat was in the third row, therefore I could see the twinkle in your eye. It was one of the highlights of my life.

I just wanted you to know that I have so admired you my entire life......you have the most beautiful voice. I pray for your return to health..........I think the world needs you for a bit longer. I will pray for you and your wife daily.

Sincerely,

Dorie Pickinpaugh
