Reply to "Robin Williams Found Dead in Possible Suicide"

Both his mother and father passed away before him. Laura McLaurin, his mother, died in 2001. Robert Fitzgerald Williams, who was a senior executive at Ford Motor Company in charge of its Midwest region, died in 1987.

=============================

From an interview with his mom:

 

“I feel Robin was put on Earth to make us laugh. You know, at the Yale Drama School, I’m told they use Robin and Steve Martin as perfect examples of the fool in a king`s court. The fool has to be brilliant, well-informed and able to make the king laugh without getting his head chopped off. That’s Robin.” Robin’s mother said her son regularly made her laugh, calling her up and impersonating others.

“He`s very good at voices, you know. He can do a little child very well. Sometimes, I`ll be rushing to get out of the house, and I`ll get this call (little girl`s voice): `Hello, this is Candy. My mommy isn`t home. Can I come over and play with you?` And I get very impatient; he still can fool me. He also has a key to my house, and sometimes I`ll call, and he`ll answer the phone and impersonate the help, telling me that Mrs. Williams has moved away.”
