He lifted people up with his kindness.
“I was walking in New York at night and I see Robin Williams and a whole bunch of people getting his autograph. He signed gracefully, then took some photos with people. A guy in his 30s, a little overweight, comes and asks if Robin could please sign some memorabilia he had bought and saved for over 20 years, because Robin was his hero.
Then he asks if he can take a picture, Robin says, ’Sure, boss,’ and the guy takes a photo of just Robin and then Robin asks. ’Do you want to be in the photo?’ Then the guy looking down goes, ’Oh no, that’s fine...I...hehe...I’m ugly, I don’t want to ruin the picture,’ and then Robin says, ’Don’t be like that, come here,’ and takes a picture with the guy.” — F*GGAW*GGA / reddit
