- Bill Murray: I can't tell you what was right about John Candy or what was wrong. But he was my friend. And... I don't wanna cry, but when I see him, when you see his face, I mean...
- Self - Actor, Uncle Buck: You stick around in Hollywood long enough everyone either goes crazy or turns into an asshole or they end up dead.
- Self - Mainstage Cast, The Second City: I'm going to give it out today in the manner in which he would have wanted it. You have been accorded a great honor. You stand up, and walk to the front of the room, and without grief or weeping, deliver loudly, clearly, short, and straight to the salient points, the best tribute in oratory possible from the heart of an allied professional, a creative brother, and a fellow Canadian, who loved this boy from the Donlands, like we had the same blood. "We salute first a patriot, who always professed and promoted the positive interests of the North, but who also welcomed into his fold Americans, and was enfolded in turn by them. Like all on our planet, they eventually came to see his indistillable value. This is no meager life we reflect on today. This is as full of life as any human can live. Joy, emotional abundance of spirit, infectious rage, a tinge of Lugosi-like madness with his bottom reverse vampire teeth and all, a titan of a gentle, golden man. Magnificent of visage, eyes and frame. Let none be deceived by what the less enlightened would label as "girth".

John Franklin Candy, devoted son, brother, altar boy, student, salesman, stage, radio and television writer and performer, world-famous comedy ambassador, farce and dramatic actor, international feature film star, director, businessman, connoisseur, percussionist, charitable benefactor, husband, father, and the sweetest, most generous person ever known to me. I loved him from the instant I laid eyes on him, in his first impeccable suit and I will never stop.'"
