Although this saddens me, at least I know that Westboro Baptist Church won't be able to picket his funeral, there's some comfort in that. RIP Robin.

I just can't watch him right now. It still hurts too much. I wish I could remember him for all the times he made me laugh but right now all I can think of is all the pain he was in and how he left us.
I hope someday I can laugh at him again.
 
Someone in San Francisco wants to rename a tunnel for Robin and paint rainbow stripes over it. Nice gesture.

For those who haven't read this story about Robin....there are so many wonderful stories about this remarkable man....

This one is from Mila Kunis.

"Having somebody of Robin Williams' stature tell me to just acknowledge something meant so much," Kunis continued. "He didn't mentor me. He just said, 'Step back and appreciate this. You're having an amazing time.' I was so nervous. And he said, "Relax. And don't forget to enjoy yourself because things like this don't happen to everyone.'"

Beautiful memorial to Robin Williams by Billy Crystal on tonight's Emmys.
 
I'm a looong time lurker and this is my first post. Like DairyGirl I have been unable to watch news or movies about Robin yet; however, the Emmy tribute was just right. Not very long but very heartfelt, and I was able to watch it with gratitude and less sadness than I have felt.

Here is my Robin Williams story: In about 1983 I flew to SF to meet my husband who was driving home from an 18 month tour with the Navy in Bremerton, WA. For various reasons I couldn't join my husband in WA and had remained in our home in S. Calif. We had seen each other quite often with him flying home most weekends, but this was a special celebration for us. We were staying at the Hyatt Regency for a few days and then I would join my hubby for the rest of the drive home. We were just walking around town that night when we literally ran into Robin when he came around a corner at his usual pace and knocked me down! He was so apologetic and felt so bad - I didn't even have a scratch. He was all alone and said he was just out for a walk. We talked for about 30 minutes and he was interested in why we were visiting, etc. He wanted to hear all about my husband's career, etc. When talking about our drive home it came up that my husband didn't drive his car to Bremerton when he moved up there. The ship (aircraft carrier) was moving to Bremerton for an overhaul so had no planes, air wing, weapons, etc. aboard and instead they moved families, possessions, etc. to save money on moving expenses for the families who made the move up there.When Robin heard that they used a crane to lift the cars and filled the flight deck with automobiles for the trip he was fascinated. He wondered if my husband trusted them with his pride and joy (yes, his car!). Then he just laughed and laughed and said he would have loved to see that.

After ending our conversation we went our separate ways and my husband had some dinner and just walked around more. When we got back to the hotel Robin had arranged for us to be moved to a honeymoon suite (it was our wedding anniversary) with champagne, flowers, etc., and paid our bill! It was a wonderful trip and a memory that has stayed in our hearts. He will definitely be missed - I can't even imagine the pain he was in. He will live on in many hearts and minds for years!

I doubt it as well. Robin was apparently an Episcopalian according to this article. Hope it's ok to post as I don't think it's considered MSM.

Robin Williams grew closer to God during rehab
Raised by an Episcopalian father and Christian Scientist mother, he publicly identified with the Episcopal Church, and offered the quip that being Episcopalian was essentially “Catholic lite: the same religion, half the guilt.”

Williams said religion was an integral part of his childhood. But having just gone through rehab, his relationship with God awakened beyond mere formalism.“It’s become much more personal to me,” he said. “Instead of my mother saying, ‘We’re going to church now’, there’s much more a sense of [religion] coming back to life for me.”

Robin Williams ' spirit remained very much alive tonight at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Just two weeks to the day after the revered comedian, Oscar winner and star of screens big and small took his own life, Billy Crystal took the stage at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre to preside over a stand-alone tribute to his longtime friend and frequent colleague.

"He made us laugh, hard, any time you saw him," began Crystal, who in addition to hosting a number of Comic Relief benefit specials over the years with Williams and Whoopi Goldberg also starred with him in the 1997 comedy Father's Day...

I just cried and cried. What a loss. I feel so incredibly sad for this man who shared so much of himself with the world.

What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing it. It just seems so many people, celebrities and non-celebrities alike, have nothing but wonderful things to say about this man. What a legacy to have left.

Of course his comedic genius and overall acting ability will live on, but it seems so will his kindness as a human being.
