    He was such a blessing. I still laugh non stop when I watch Johnny Carson reruns with Robin on the show. I laugh cry! I make a point of finding something Robin was in to watch when I feel depression creeping in. I am so thankful that Robin shared his humor with us.

    He was so utterly unique, and he left us far too soon. He really was one of the greats, what a supreme talent. RIP Robin. We miss you.

      You wrote that beautifully and I couldn't agree more!! At least we have a fantastic catalog of film, stand-up, and interviews that are also a treasure and a way to celebrate this incredible man. I believe he is somewhere smiling and at peace.

      I remember feeling so shocked and realized I was crying as I listened to the news. His movies literally saved my life when I was sick and far from home. I looked forward to every evening a movie of his was on. May he be at peace or in Neverland always on the next adventure. I love you and thank you for everything. ❤

    I literally grew up watching Mr. Williams. I remember the episode of Happy Days and him acting with Ron Howard and laughing hysterically when he put his head in the chair cushion as a means of "sitting down". I have watched every single HBO special he ever did(his golf skit is still the best one he ever did) and have seen all of his movies from Popeye(watched it as a double feature with Airplane!) To One Hour Photo and everything in between. As much as I love his comedic roles, his acting in drama is completely underrated and did not get enough flowers for this. I remember the news hitting Twitter that he had passed and I was devastated about it. One of the best comedic talents and a generally good man left this world and it became a little darker because of it. We all lost a true treasure in Robin Williams when he left us and it has not been right since. I hope his children have been able to find some sort of acceptance of their father's passing and I hope they know that they do not grieve alone. May he rest in eternal peace and light. Thank you, Mr. Williams for making the world funnier while you were in it.

    When Robin Williams premiered in "Mork and Mindy" I knew he would be a star! I loved his comedic timing so very much. I cried for a week after his passing 😢 I felt like he was a personal friend. Whenever I'm down I watch him in Alladin. It always makes me feel better. I truly loved him and his gift.

    It should have been noted that Robin was the one that quietly paid his life long friend Christopher Reeves (Superman) hospital bills. He visited Reeves trying to keep up his morale and took Reeve's son Matthew under his wing. Robin also paid for the renovation of Reeves house to accommodate him after being released from rehab and upon Reeves passing, he also paid for all funeral expenses.
    The one story that had me in stitches was when Robin met Koko, the sign language gorilla.
    Robin was out of his element not knowing how to sign, but was patient and trusting of Koko. A bit into the meeting, Koko opened Robin's shirt and saw his extremely hairy chest and signed that she wanted to "mate" with Robin! He didn't know how to act, what to do or what to say! The two, Robin and Koko wrapped up their visit and went on their way.
    When Koko was informed of Robin's death, she signed "Sad, Cry and Friend" as she hugged his picture. 😭 💔

    No, his wife did NOT discover Robin’s body. It was his personal assistant who did. Check any news reports of the time. She is the one who called 911. His wife was not even there at the time.

    I saw an interview with Ron Howard; he spoke of when Robin came onto the Happy Day's set. He came on full energy and firing out the jokes.
    They had no idea what he was up too and wonder if a big mistake had been made. But he won them over.

    Susan did not find Robin, their housekeeper did. She phoned Susan who was driving and had to manage California morning Bay Area Bridge traffic while out of her mind with grief screaming NO ROBIN NO!
    I stand firm in saying that Robin did not commit suicide, his Lewy Body Dementia damaged brain with its frightening hallucinations murdered him. Like many who suffer from serious failing health that has no real help like certain cancers and worsening chronic pain, killing the body - the very source, is the only true means of escape. They do not want to die, do not want to leave life itself, but they are desperate to end the horrific suffering. If you truly love another, you will care to understand and love them still.
    In truth death remains the only escape from that hateful type of dementia that can only be diagnosed for certain at autopsy. It is an evil dementia!
    I believe Robin's soul is flying free in the peace and glory of Heaven because he suffered hell on Earth, there was no where else for him but to rise.
    Thank you Robin for all you left behind that sees others through their own moments of hell. I myself have leaned on you for many tragic reasons and decades.
    We Love You Still And Always

      @FallenAngel9979 I was going by what other comics and professionals would say about him. Of course, the public liked him - they didn't know the truth. Google the information. Comics would cinge when he saw their stand-up . He was not original.
      Watch his interviews, and he did the same stuff over and over. "Martha Graham, Madonna." Blah blah .
      I will say his dramatic was so much better.
