“When I was around 3, my father and I were in a waiting area at SFO. I started playing with another little boy and my dad realized Robin Williams was there and it was his son. My dad struck up a conversation about raising boys and the rollercoaster of feelings that is fatherhood. They shared a nice moment, human to human and father to father.” — greenbergz / reddit

“The year was 1998 when he filmed Patch Adams at UNC. His trailer was no more than 50 ft from the exit door of my office.

What a funny and joyful person! I remember that he once asked me what size wrench a quantum mechanic needed to screw things up.” — Jim Murrell / Facebook
