Robin Williams was also a keen cyclist: [url]http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/12/sport/cycling-robin-williams-armstrong-sky/index.html[/url]



He seems to have had a postive impact on all the lives he has touched.

+1. If you need help, please get it. There is usually a spike in suicides after celebrity suicides.

He will be missed...

Personally, I never liked his work and I'm not going to say any different now.
But the world sure seems a poorer place for his passing.

One of his films was 'What Dreams May Come', and was an exploration of suicide, and its effect on others. I find it worth noting that the title was from Hamlet's soliloquy, in part

To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Farewell, Robin. Thank you for your dreams in this mortal coil.

Played a good game of golf too. My mate thought he was a really good down to earth guy after a tournament with him

That is a great film, sometimes when you lose you win.

Yeah it's a shame he finally let his Depression overcome him, I grew up watching Mork and Mindy and I loved his turn as Genie in Dsney's Aladdin, to this day I'm still amazed at how many ad-libs of his they kept in that film.

But yes Depression is a nasty sod, and it effects people in many ways, I suffer from it myself, have done for years, but something inside me has always kept me from going over the edge during my roughest patches, I just wish I knew what it was that stops me and I wish I could pass it on to others who sorely need that strength.

So rest in peace Robin, you'll be missed mate.

one of my favourite comic creators, Erika Moen, created this today which I think is absolutely beautiful, about depression.
