Robin Williams.
It wouldn’t feel right to not acknowledge the loss of the amazing Robin Williams. There isn’t much to say that hasn’t been said, but I know I speak for many when I say he will live on in Boston- specifically in the places where he filmed Good Will Hunting. We send out our condolences to all friends, colleagues, family and fans of him who are feeling this devastating loss.
“You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living beings, everywhere, even the stars”
-August Rush (Robin Williams as “The Wizard”)
