  Robin always had that hint of sadness in his eyes. But he was always so generous with his gifts and his power to make people laugh. REST IN PEACE.

  The term &quot;One of a kind&quot; was meant for Robin.

  I&apos;m so glad he received this while he was alive. &nbsp;Too many times people don&apos;t get to know how much they are appreciated before they pass.

  It almost looks as if he doesn&apos;t believe he deserves the award, or maybe he hasn&apos;t earned it or something, and that to me is incredible....it&apos;s been 5yrs since he passed, and I genuinely miss that man, he was a remarkable human being...

  The greatest comedian that ever lived. He was the improv king. I don&apos;t think he ever wrote a joke. He was nothing but vulnerable up there doing standup and in every interview he ever did. The man was a true genius. Miss him and will always love him.

  He had more talent than everyone in the room. And I think they all knew it.

  I can&apos;t help it. Every time I see him in any video I can&apos;t keep my eyes dry.

  The last thanks to Chris Reeves was really touching. They became fast friends at Juilliard and remained so &nbsp;till Reeves passing. Robin helped visited him in the hospital and was there for him whenever needed. RIP Robin.
