I so miss the joy he brought to living.

He seemed to touch all our hearts. He was such a zany brilliant man, yet I always felt there was a hint of sadness there too. It's a great shame that he was overwhelmed with so many challenges, and Parkinson's as well. He will be missed. Rest in peace dear Robin.
