My great uncle played the train conductor in Willoughby <3

I am in the final days of heart failure. The doctors have done all they can and say try to enjoy the few weeks I have left. I watch this video  every day. Jesus said " I go to prepare a place for you" I So Hope it's  like Willoughby. I Believe  Jesus Loves me and is going to surprise me with something Greater than I can imagine.  Thank You God. In my younger years, when I had my whole life ahead of me, I never thought  these things. But now as I trudge the final days I told my friend  the other day " It's not so fun this  close to  dying "  What ever the reason I have been here, Thank You God, Thank you Mom and Dad and my brother Robert. ❤️ I have been Truly Blessed.

There is a silver lining in this cautionary tale: listen to your gut and do what you love.
A life based on greed, competition, and power is a society that will destroy itself. It's right to slow down and to be present in nature. The concrete jungle is the REAL illusion.

Willoughby is not only a funeral home it's also heaven

“…a man can slow down to a walk and live his life full measure…”. Something we all strive to do in our lives.

my brother just passed away and we use to talk about wiloughby and he hoped that heaven would be like this little town,,,he loved the thought of spending eternity there!!!!!!

Willoughby, peaceful, restfull, where a man can slow down to a walk, a place where a man can live his life full measure.

This is the saddest episode, in my opinion, since all he ever wanted was to live a simpler life, and society's materialistic views kept him from doing what he really wanted.

The ironic thing is that this episode first aired in 1959. Were it to be remade today the 21st century commuter would likely look out his window seeing a peaceful and idyllic suburb from the 1950’s.

This episode is said to be Rod Serlings favorite. I love it too. Ever since I was a kid.

Rod Serling, one genius writer

There is a lot of truth in this episode.  When you are living by others expectations and desires you’ll never be very happy.

Next time, let's ALL get off at Willoughby.

The sound of the crossing bells approaching and then fading away, is so melancholy

They sure don't make TV writers like this anymore.

This makes me want to travel back in time to a point in my youth I was happiest. To me this episode was not only a tear jerker, but also a kind of What If?

This episode of "The Twilight Zone" was excellent. Well acted and written.

"Willoughby: where a man can live his life full measure." Sounds like my kind of place!! 😊😊

Theres just something about this episode that makes me cry, now that I am 30. I wish I could be happy and just get off at Willoughby.

john..even though that guy died at the end, at least he was finally at peace.
