I found out about this yesterday after work. I logged on at the apt. comlex/
clubhouse PC at 5:45pm and went to IMDb and there it was on the front page. He had taken his life.

The stand up comedian whose manic and almost endless energy,made his act a rapid fire succession of jokes that if your ears were distracted by something,you'd miss it....was gone.

It was nearly 36 & 1/2 years ago on Tuesday night Feb. 28th,1978,
that I and any fan of "Happy Days",met Robin as "Mork from Ork" in the Richie Cunningham dream episode "My Favorite Orkan".

Richie thinks he sees a UFO and then later dreams of a man from
space in a red jumpsuit and space helmet,coming to take him away.

A preview of the already,then,in the works series "Mork & Mindy" that debuted on Thurs. Sept. 14th. As we know,it was a runaway hit. (Even though later ABC would tamper with success where it wasn't needed.)

Robin Wiliams from that point on was on his way to becoming an
icon in American stand up comedy,movies and entertainment in general.

Movies starting in 1980 with "Popeye" to his final upcoming on-screen appearance in "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" (currently in post-production.)

He also has one more film after this,"Absolutely Anything",where he's credited as
"Dennis The Dog". Much like Jimmy Stewart,his last role was the voice of a character.

Robin was just that in his life,a true character and unique human being,that can never be repeated or duplicated. Like most famous personalities,we'll never see the likes of him again.

Whatever his final inner struggles were,we can only wish there could have been a way for someone or anyone to find it out and prevent his actions.

So,we now bid farewell to,what I
have always felt,was a true comic genius.....

RIP Robin Williams.
