RIP Robin Williams
Marin County Sheriff's Dept is reporting that actor Robin Williams was found dead of an apparent suicide in his home there today.
Damn.
RIP.

Been my favorite actor (foremost) and comedian. Know literally all his movies - even a few way too good. The world lost one of the greatest artist of its time.
I urge you to watch his 2h Inside the actors studio special, served for me as a source for laughter and insight for years.
RIP Robin McLaurin Williams
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

This saddens me greatly. He was my favorite comedian. I pray he finds the peace he was so desperate for. Thank you Mr. Williams for all the laughs and smiles you gave the world and my family. Rest In Peace.

This is such a loss for the film world. Robin has always had his demons, so sorry to hear that he succumb to his own.
RIP Mork Nanu Nanu.

There are no words to describe what I'm feeling. I grew up watching reruns of Mork and Mindy. I watched Good Morning Viet Nam and remember thinking, "You can do that in the Army?" Dead Poets Society taught me several things about what it is to be a teacher and a student. I know it's corny, but I always wanted to stand on a desk and say, "Oh Captain, my Captain." I never found a teacher worthy enough. For the first time in a long, long time I felt that urge again.
I pray that he finds the peace in death that he struggled to find in life.

It was 1976 or 1977 when I was hustling across campus at noon time. A lunchtime crowd was forming in the grassy square where a long haired dude in a tie dyed t-shirt with red suspenders was getting ready to perform. If I recall correctly, he may have done a few magic tricks first then he started doing comedy. Funniest person I have ever seen in person.

He traveled 15 years with the USO entertaining the troops. He will be missed.
