One of the fans wrote, "7 years, it’s been 7 years and I still can’t look at his face without feeling heartbroken. He is so missed."

Another fan commented, "As a 51-year-old well into my Lewy Body Dementia journey, I hope you know he was saving himself and his loved ones the pain of watching him die again and again. I wish you peace and also thank Robin for his gift that he shared with the world."

A fan noted how the legendary actor impacted the choice of profession.
