Too bad for sure, what a talent he was. Unfortunately he struggled with demons for years... gonna miss him.

Oh, rats. That's big, big personality, gone. I liked him for so many roles.

That's a shame. Appears to be suicide? I liked him best when he free-formed. His mind moved so fast it was hard to keep up. I think the majority of his audience missed a rather larger percentage of his jokes. He was the best at that.

A good, kind, and talented man gone at 63 years of age. A real shame. RIP, Robin.

O Captain! My Captain, our fearful trip is done.
Do not limit yourself to what others think is reasonable or possible.

This. His albums never got old, because the first time you heard them you laughed through three or more subsequent jokes. You'd still be finding gems on the forth hearing.

What a talent.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Worked with him on a comedy special with Jonathan Winters and a host of other great comics. Everyone in the place including the crew and comedians were in a state of continuous hysterical laughter as Robin was in the nonstop mode. Beyond funny, a true genius of comedy has passed.

I really enjoyed watching Robin work a crowd, his off the cuff comedy was pure genius such a talent and a terrible loss. RIP

Angelo that must have been cool to have been involved with those great comedians.
