Fans took it upon themselves to preserve Bob’s memory and legacy by flooding social media with photos and posts about him. “Remembering Bob Barker one year later. Some of my favorite Bob Barker memories were contestants playing Plinko, Cliffhangers, and Three Strikes,” someone wrote.
Another praised his “charm and style,” noting that it was one in a million and will be greatly missed. “Can’t believe it’s been a year since we lost the GOAT. R.I.P. Bob!” some other nostalgic supporter wrote. “We lost you one year ago today,” a third person recalled.

Bob’s lasting legacy
Bob left an undeniable mark in the game show industry and is even credited for giving Wheel of Fortune’s Vanna White her big break. He also promoted the culture of spaying and neutering pets in the U.S., which is a means of birth control for animals to prevent strays and pet overpopulation.

Not survived by any offspring, Bob left his $70 million fortune to some animal charities to continue his advocacy. CBS has yet to acknowledge offended fans or issue an apology; however, Bob’s impact remains undeniable in the hearts of many viewers of The Price is Right around the country
