**cnc** · 08-11-2014, 07:26 PM

Robin Williams was found dead today, possible suicide.
Age 63.
You were one funny man, RIP.

May he rip.

Self imposed dirt nap? What a waste. It was the wrong answer to whatever question was in his head.

**BigRed** · 08-11-2014, 08:33 PM

I am so bummed out.

**schoeney** · 08-11-2014, 08:37 PM

Never would've thought he would be a candidate for suicide. Just goes to show you you don't know what demons people are walking around with. What a great talent.

**HwyRider** · 08-11-2014, 09:08 PM

I guess Mork went back to Ork. Bipolar is a hard thing for people to live with. RIP

That's a damned shame.

Not important how he died, as tragic as it is, what we have to remembrer is what he did with his Life, he made me laugh so hard I cried. RIP

From comedy to drama he was one talented actor. Our families hearts out to his family.

cactusjack · 08-11-2014, 09:52 PM

Can't say it was a surprise. He was one of the funniest who ever lived. I hope he's found his peace. RIP.

From what I have read he has had his demons to deal with over the years. I remember in one interview he said he developed many of the basics of his characters by hiding in his closet for hours on end. I do not remember exactly, but it had to do with him not being near friends his age, so he spent much of his time alone entertaining himself in his early childhood.

What a major loss of talent. Seems some of the most talented leave too early or tragically.

You sometimes wonder if there is a trade-off required somewhere...

What a tragedy. Robin I'm sorry we couldn't provide you with enough laughter and happiness as you gave us. You should have known you were America's chosen boy for making us laugh and smile and been happy to be alive for us all. I'm so sorry...

Sad to know he's gone. Always seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes. I remember watching "Mrs. Doubtfire" with the kids a while back and laughing till it hurt. Thoughts and prayers out to his family and friends.

Really too bad to go out that way. Condolences to the family are easy, he gave us a ton of laughs over the years.

That explains all the hair.

I wasn't a big fan, but I hate it for his family, especially if it dose indeed prove to be suicide.

Rest In Peace Robin-
