He reminds me of being a little kid

I was just a little kid when "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Mary Poppins" came out. In fact, they were released before I was born but back then they'd often re-release movies to the theaters even several years later and that was how I came to see these - probably when I was 5-6 years old. Then they'd show them on TV ONCE a year back then and it was a real treat. I can remember they'd show "Chitty" on Christmas eve for a long time back in the 70's. I know he's still very much alive but I think I'll feel like a part of my childhood will be gone when he dies. I think kids loved and could relate to him because he had a child-like presence about him. Anyway, long live Dick Van Dyke, a true class act!
