Well said and to put it another way a lot of times you see the phony smiles and hugs on these award shows but to see the glowing pride from bill crystal and his beaming smile over his best friend winning the Oscar was just so genuine that you have to be made of stone not to feel so joyous for both men

The next day, when Robin showed up on the set of Patch Adams, there was a surprise performance by the Glide Memorial choir. It was amazing. Robin so much deserved the highest honor of his profession, and I'll tell you how much he appreciated everyone who worked on his films. He wasnt like other actors in the biz, stand-offish or self-affected, he'd come up to a grip or a security guard, and ask, "How's it going Bob?" and know everyone by name and he made working on his films such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. In fact, that day he showed up a little late after coming home to the bay area from the Oscars back to the set on the university of Cal-Berkeley, and at lunch he set his Oscar down in front of him. We were all overjoyed for him. I congratulated him and looked at the statue and said, "Can I hold it?" This was the fourth Robin Williams' film I had the pleasure of working on, so he just smiled and handed it to me. Wow! Talk about heavy. That thing weighed like 25 pounds. I handed it back to him and said, "Thanks Robin. Its about time they gave you one of these." He was on cloud nine that day. I think of him often and send Love to his amazing Soul. He was sui generis - absolutely one of a kind. The world needs more of his sense of humor and generosity (he was involved in numerous charities) and I hope he is at peace on the other side, because I know from conversations he certainly was bothered by the conditions and circumstances of the larger world around us. He gave his heart and soul to this world, and by the amount of appreciation his fans still give him, it was because he WASN'T 'acting' he truly enjoyed making people laugh. He was a magnificent example of charity and caring. I miss him.
