Sad, sad, sad. Hope RW finally has peace.

…yet it leaves only devastation in it’s wake.

Must you?

Would your family like it if someone finds something equally kind to say about you after your death, equally publicly?

denis’ comment above highlights an interesting fact. For someone as high energy and high profile as Robin Williams, in show business for as long as he was, I have heard very little negative about him. Maybe it’s because he said it all himself first, but the worst thing I can remember someone saying was early in his career when other comics were angry at another stand-up taking material to TV, which severely limited its lifespan. I never heard he was difficult to work with as an actor (provided someone could contain him), or unpleasant as a person. I think it speaks to an underlying kindness that I always thought I saw in him.

He was at depth a very kind man with clinical depression. Unkind men, and women, are just depressing; with teeny tiny minds.

Thanks Gary, Great Tribute!

Nice tribute. But you forgot “What Dreams May Come”.
