Good evening friends.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the late great Robin Williams, the Actor and Comedian. The news was as shocking as any story i have ever read. He was 63 years old and took his own life on August 11th, 2014.

It’s easy to lose sight of who Robin Williams was with all this news about the suicide. This incident was tragic in every sense of the word tragedy.  But his death did not negate the millions and millions of people around the world that loved him and were affected by him.  Robyn Williams made people smile his whole life.  He truly made the world a better place. The Smith Family misses him dearly as we all do.

It’s interesting, when you think of Tinsel Town, the World’s capital of vanity, its hard to believe Robin Williams was an A-list actor right in the middle of all that.  And yet he was in the middle of all that and managed to stay grounded his whole career.

Robin Williams was a nice man. He was a sensitive, friendly and geniusly funny from head to toe. I mean think about it for a moment, did anyone ever say negative things about Robin William’s character in all these years ? No, they didn’t. From the beginning to the very end, Mr. Williams was just a nice guy, plain and simple.

We all heard of his struggles with alcohol, cocaine and depression. I read over the years the flip side of funny is depression. A lot of comedians have said the funnier you are, the more likely depressed you are. And we can all say hands down how funny Robin Williams was.

The world lost one of the great ones last year on this day.  A man despite all his struggles, made people feel better around the world with all the different and inspirational roles he played.

We hope the survived family is finding peace with his loss a year later. Sammy & Family salutes Mr. Robin Williams  and we’ll never forget him.  Rest in Peace Mr. Williams, nobody deserves it more.

Let us just quote one of his lines from the Movie Dead Poets Society; “We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering—these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life, but poetry, beauty, romance, love—these are what we stay alive for.”

Such powerful words. It sure sounds a lot like how Robin Williams actually lived.

No lives will go in vain, no pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
