It is with deep sadness that we have all received the news of the tragic death of Actor - Comedian Robin Williams. Williams was truly one of the most brilliant stars of our time and his passing will leave a void that is likely never to be filled again.

I grew up on a steady diet of Robin Williams' works and remember well the upward spiral of his acting career right from his appearance in Mork & Mindy. I'm just heartbroken by this sad new, as I'm sure most others certainly are.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin's wife, family and friends. Listen!!! That rumbling you hear in the sky... Robin is now making God laugh!

With sincere thanks from a dedicated fan,

I was dumbfounded when I heard the news, and, like you, deeply saddened.

Personally, while he was most known as a "comedian," I truly began to appreciate Robin Williams once he started venturing into the dramatic realm. Movies like "What Dream May Come" puts me in tears every single time I watch them because the depth of emotion in his eyes and tenderness in his manner in these dramatic films touch me to the very core of my being. Though it's also true that, even in comedic films like "Mrs. Doubtfire," that same tenderness and depth of feeling was still indisputably apparent.

Goodbye, Robin. You'll not be forgotten. I truly hope you now find in the afterlife the joy you apparently lacked in life, a joy which, ironically, you gave so many while on this earth.

My personnel favorites are "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Goodwill Hunting" & "Good Morning Vietnam".  Of course there are too many others to list, but these three are the ones I tend to watch at least once every year.
