Robin Williams

[BigOgre]

Just one of many hitting the net. Hard to absorb how this condition can impact a life. R.I.P.

I had been seeing the news stories, and am still in disbelief. May he and his family find peace in his passing. I laughed, I cried, I mourn. Pretty sad.

Depression lies and oft times it is difficult to see through those lies to the truth... it's very sad.

I will remember the laughter that he brought me in my life... RIP Robin. Hope you are at peace now.

He's lived on that ragged edge of genius for years. Sometimes the highs and lows aren't that far apart. Some of the greatest humor I've ever seen. RIP, Mork.

 

[gregory]

He will be missed, he was truly one of the greatest.

The absolute best comedian evahh, in my opinion.

True Genius

The world has just become a little lonelier place.

 

[gregarious]

I loved him as a comedian first, but he really became a PHENOMINAL actor. I hope that he is finally at peace with the demons that haunted him. My thoughts are with his family.

 

[dcarver]

Genius and Insanity..

Not that far apart.

Good guy..

Good Bye.

Nano Nano..

 

[creg-ny-baa]

Very sad. Story is that he'd turn up to (bicycle) group rides in the Bay Area. Friendly, approachable.

Godspeed.

An amazing actor that brought me much laughter - he will be missed by so many. God bless him and his family.

 

[Surly]

Seemed I could always rely on Robin for a laugh. You will be missed, hope you find peace.

Can't recall who said it nor when.. But it was stated comedy was/ is generated by great suffering.

Williams is, or was one of the greatest ever to grace us. You have to wonder what drove him over the edge after 4 decades.
Belushi, Farley, and several who broke out the same time where ok at best. They were basically ****** up on pills and booze in order to entertain...


No way Robin could have been toasted for 35 plus years.

Godspeed Mork!

First time I saw his stand up, I was awestruck at the incredible speed and total zaniness. It seemed like his humor was supercharged. One of the few celebrities I felt it would be cool to meet in person. So long, Robin.

 

[bigjohnsd]

My favorite comic. RIP

 

[HotRodZilla]

Dayum...This is a very sad thing.

 

[majicmaker]

Thank God we will have all his stuff to see For Ever. RIP.

 

[Bounce]

His bouncing-off-the-walls cocaine-fueled early days [1] were never the same once he got off the Peruvian marching powder and his stand up was never quite the same. Meanwhile (IMO) the calmer Williams became a good actor and gave us some movies worth watching more than once.

I won't make Mork references since he publicly rebuked those who did so to him when in concert (at least those I saw).

But an image from "Dead Poets Society" seems appropriate.

So sad another of Hollywood's funny men has died. I have enjoyed his work for years including Good Morning Vietnam and Good Will Hunting for which he won an Academy Award. RIP and thanks for the laughs!
