Deaths: Robin Williams

From Wikipedia.

July 21, 1951-August 11, 2014.    Born in Chicago.  I was born in May 1951 and about two months older than him.  One really funny guy.  I was a big fan of "Happy Days" on TV and remember his appearance on it as the alien Mork and liked him, but didn't watch his "Mork and Mondy" show from '78-'82.

I did see him in many movies and always liked his characters:

The World According to Garp 1982
Club Paradise 1986  (All that great reggae music)
Good Morning Vietnam 1987
Good Will Hunting
Dead Poets Society 1989
Mrs. Doubtfire 1993
Jumanji 1995
Night at the Museum 2006
Night at the Smithsonian

On "Good Morning Vietnam" he played the disc jockey and improvised all his lines.

And, who could forget that great video he did with Bobby McFerrin on "Don't Worry, Be Happy."

We'll Miss Him.

O.K.  Now Quit Saying "Good Morning Vietnam!!!"
