JeffJ Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) So tragic. Depression can be treated. So sad to see somebody so kind that has so much, but feel he can't find the help he needs. Edited August 11, 2014 by JeffJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Always reminded me of a cross between Don Rickels and Johnathon Winters - brilliant mind. Very sad - but lots of great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hawkins Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I remember when I first saw him on TV. It was on the TV Show "Happy Days" as Mork. Then later came the show "Mork & Mindy and then his fame skyrocketed from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 It is too bad he could not see the joy he brought to others and you would hope that would have been enough to overcome his depression. But you have to call depression what it really is.......mental illness. And that is why he died. Truly one of the most humorous of all times. And a great supporter of the US Military by conducting USO shows all over the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygator Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 May god bless his soul. The demons of addiction and depression finally did him in. While he was making the world laugh on the outside. He was crying on the inside. RIP Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I was blessed to have met and worked with Robin (along Cuba Gooding and Max von Sydow) back in the late 90's during the filming of What Dreams May Come. He was very personable, naturally witty and a true professional. I remember one night, he made everyone on the set at Mare Island Naval Shipyard during a difficult aerial sequence comfortable with some light banter. I'm saddened that his demons overwhelmed his genius. Rest in Peace RW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin (Genie), Happy Feet (penguin), Hook, Jack, and Robot. They are saddened too. His humor bridged so many generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 His wife announced today he was in the early stages of Parkinson's discease also. And he had just had a new television series cancelled and other financial and professional issues. He may have felt everything was hitting him at once. Truly a loss of great talent and, by many reports, a very warm, loving, human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Very very sad indeed..he is now in peace from all his suffering..R.I.P Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby73 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I remember the only American movie we had during a severe military conflict was Mrs. Doubt fire. Even know we must have watched that movie over 600 times (really, probably was more) it got us through the ordeal. After 8 months we swapped out with other personnel, and I swear his humor got us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. I'm sure he helped other military in the same way. I feel so sad that he helped so many, but couldn't see the same brightness in himself. I truly hope his soul is finally at peace.
