RIP boys and thanks for the laughs.

His work with the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon will most likely never be repeated by anyone. You have to wonder if these folks ever realize how much laughter and joy they bring to others. Mrs Doubtfire to Awakenings to Night At The Museum Robin Williams was great. You can watch any John Candy film and laugh so hard you cry yet he never uses insulting humor to get the laughs. Any Aunts or Uncles not find something true in Uncle Buck?
