    I’m going to miss Robin Williams.

    I sort of grew up with him. I watched him first appear on “Happy Days” as Mork and then spinning off to his own show by that name.

    He was funny but always came across as a good guy–never an asshole, someone you would be able to have some fun with. His comedy raced at a hundred miles an hour and he was extremely talented and versatile. I know it isn’t his most talked about role but I loved him in Nolan’s “Insomnia” in a very dark role. When he did drama he did it well.

    Yes–there were times when watching him I had to tap into my inner eight year old to laugh, but that was always fun. But you had to watch him closely because things happened fast.

    I only knew one person personally in my life who killed himself, and I never saw it coming. It is so hard to know sometimes the depth of someone’s despair who is stuck in the horrible pit of depression. How horrible the pain must be to drive them to this.

    For his films, I probably loved “Mrs.Doubtfire” the best. That is the sort of film that could have gone horribly wrong but not with Robin Williams in that role.

    Anyway, R.I.P. Robin.

    RW was great. Kinda in the Jonathan Winters mold.

    Ah well.
