"Oh, Captain, my Captain...You will be missed!"

Robin Williams in scene from "Dead Poets Society"
 
   No better tribute has been paid to the late great Robin Williams than the Tonight Show's  Jimmy Fallon when he stood on his desk and uttered the famous words from Dead Poets Society.

The life of a COWARD! Shepard Smith at FOX news was DEAD on. He had all the help money could by and more so than you and me. Instead of facing the music of life he chose the same path as my father did when I was 9. My father shot himself and left my mother with 4 kids to raise. If that isn't a cowardly act then what is? Your at piece but you leave others in ruin. How selfless and cowardly you are! And then there was Lauren B the Diva that died and she struggled with alcohol through the years but she didn't become a coward she was a HERO more than Robin Williams ever was.

So sorry to hear what happened to your family. Depression is an illness, just like any other. He was a hero that made us laugh when we were down. Everyone is different.

I loved him too. From Mork and Mindy to Dead Poets, everything he did was genius. He most likely left everything in order for his family. He chose to go out this way, perhaps instead of causing them more pain.

Not a coward. A coward wouldn't choose to hang or cut himself. One bullet would do it, but I am also sorry for "9 year old" who couldn't possibly understand. You are still angry. Let it go!

I couldn't even pick which movie I liked best of his. The greatest.

I think Dead Poets was my favorite and notmuch of a comedy, either.

I think its more cowardly to slowly drink or drug yourself to death over years. So hard on your family. People have the right to end their life if they want.

I remember him saying that divorce is like "pulling your heart out through your wallet!"
