Today there is a lot less laughter in the world. We have learned that actor and comedian Robin Williams has died at the age of 63. While I could add to the speculation of the details involving his death, I choose a different path. This path is one of appreciation and celebration of this great man’s life. This is my thank you.

Robin…
