Loved the guy, loved his work especially in Good Will Hunting but most of all I loved his passion for road cycling.

^^^ GMVN, one of may favorites. So many great lines, such spontaneity and fire! I don't think there's ever been an actor for whom I can recall so many great lines and hilarious moments and yet also so his work could so often be hugely inspiring.

Absolutely, benjs. A great work.

He was like one of these people of whom you never thought they would never be there anymore. A piece of childhood and growing up. What a sad loss. It must be terrible for everybody close to him. May his soul rest in peace.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

My heart truly broke when I heard this news, he has made me laugh for thirty years now and an instant void was felt. I truly love him most for Dead Poets Society and now hauntingly.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
Absolutely devastating. So many generations grew up with him as a absolute legend / genius / idol. For mine, it was Mrs. Doubtfife, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook... And then patch Adams and Good Will Hunting. I've never laughed so hard as watching him and his spontaneity, pure comedic gold... One of my favourites was him on who's line...

So sad to hear about his passing.... Just loved Mork and Mindy and Good Morning Vietnam plus many others. A great actor and comedian.... Robin Williams did battle his demons...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I'm speechless and in shock. Last time I felt like this over a celebrity's death was Clarence Clemons.
My introduction to something related to Robin Williams was Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire when I was young. I watched Aladdin religiously as a child and it became one of my favorite movies of all time. I also can't tell you how many times I've watched Mrs. Doubtfire, and watching him put out the fire on his breasts with the pot covers would always leave me laughing in tears.
Robin, thank you for the many, MANY laughs you have given me and to millions of fans around the world over the years.

I still can't believe it since i heard the news. What a big loss ! I've always loved his work, lots of souvenir when i was young : I've grown with his movies and he often left me laughing or crying. I'm sad to know this ... RIP
I suffered a heart attack on Sunday while swimming but yesterday's news felt so much worse than the pain I was in I've been in hospital since Sunday ...suddenly Williams death made me feel no pitty for my self I'm still alive ..... RIP Robin

I don't know whether to be surprised or comforted or just...blanketed...in the gorgeous energy here.
And, I don't know why it feels so personal, this loss. Maybe because it feels like a blindside.
You were doing ok! So we thought, and hoped.
My sweetheart and I took in some older stuff of his via Johnny Carson and my teary ass came through once again.
