Robin always had that hint of sadness in his eyes. But he was always so generous with his gifts and his power to make people laugh. REST IN PEACE.

[@sabumiah3421]

I wrote this after the death of Robin Williams, August 2014. I laughed so much I cried I laughed so much I nearly died It was all too much It was all too little too late The demons that haunted you at night in bed Was the emptiness in your head and not your soul All those years lost searching For redemption from prying eyes not knowing That this clown Was burdened by an unimaginable dark cloud The loss of your dearest departed friend Didn't mean it signaled the end But it did steal something And left a remarkable gift so amazing and profound. When on one hand it took, the other you received and gave It was not enough to silence the millions of critics in your mind Why didn't we spot you were running out of time? I laughed at an Alien called Mork From a planet called Ork My heart blead for the beauty of The Dead Poets Society And how could deary me, Forget Mrs Doubtfire, that wonderful Scottish nanny. The Doctor you played in Good Will Hunting, Gave a tiny clue to your depth of compassion and feeling. But, alas the greatest character you played was the one we never truly knew. S.Miah

[@gerrym.9354]

In the 1990's, I worked on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. One day, as I passed the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Avenue, there was a group of, what I guessed to be, grade school, or, possibly, high school students on a class trip milling about on the large stairs leading up to the museum's entrance. Suddenly a limo that had been slowed by the traffic pulled over to the curb and a gentleman got out. You could hear the stir of commotion and excitement from the kids, and it drew my attention. It was Robin Williams! He bounded up the stairs until he reached where they were, shook hands, gave hugs, signed autographs, and mugged it up for some group pictures. And then, just as quickly as he had arrived, he jumped back in his limo, and was off. I thought, what a nice man, a famous personality who did not shun people but, rather, took the time, requested that his driver pull over, and made a magic moment for 50 or so school kids who, I have no doubt, will remember that special NYC moment for the remainder of their entire lives. RIP William. You were a decent, good, and kind human being, and one who never let fame diminish your humanity, your humility.

Can’t describe how much joy it gives me to see Robin and Jim hug each other and how happy Jim evidently was for him. Also that he acknowledged Jim when talking about their craft. Love that. Robin you were and are an eternal shining light in the comedic and entertainment world. You will be forever missed. I wish I could have met you but it wasn’t meant to be. So gutted that things ended how they did for you. You deserved so much better than that. Forever an adoring fan, sleep well legend.

[@lhpkazuha]

I grew up seeing him in Jumanji and Aladdin. Then I discovered his standups. His filthy, dark and hysterical humour made me laugh until I cry. And he made me laugh when I cry too. I got through many dark times thanks to him, and I’ve learned so much from his life and his battle with mental illness. Thank you Robin, for the tears and the joy, for the awesome childhood and the tough times that I’ve learned how to get through. We miss you a lot

The world isn't the same without you for a personality so big and a voice so memorable that no one else can recapture.

[@b4w104]

Sad but the toughest role he ever played was himself

[@andrealingenfelter576]

I agree that the hardest role was himself. He jumped from character to character because he was not secure in his own identity.

[@andrealingenfelter576]

I used to think it was his genius (and it was) but also the source of his pain.......could not be himself in public ever always in a role.

Looking back over the years. His interviews, awards, etc. when he wasn’t actively performing you could see the sadness in his eyes, and it breaks my heart now that no one ever asked him why it was there? Maybe if someone had focused on him, and not his comedic skills, he never would’ve committed suicide

[@jiyu9277]

Part of the reason he killed himself wasn’t depression, it’s because he was developing a form of Alzheimer’s and he felt like he was losing his mind. No one could have predicted that

[@kuhntzzz]

@@jiyu9277 exactly what i was going to say. people also /did/ start checking up on him in the months leading up to his suicide. they noticed something was wrong and robin would just reassure the people in his life he was fine. how could have anyone predicted that? how is anyone at fault? it’s a situation where nobody is to blame and the point is that the people closest to him did focus on him rather than his humor. he suffered from depression towards the end for sure but a symptom of lewy body dementia is depression as well. in the words of his wife it was the dementia that killed him, and depression was a small symptom out of many.
