3. I was so mad at him when he took his own life.

He had been in my life regularly since I was 6 years old when he first appeared on Happy Days. He’d been making me laugh from adolescence to my tweens, my teens, twenties, thirties, forties. I was heartbroken and aghast at that most cowardly move to take his own life….then my mom was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia.



















I now salute his courage having seen the effects up close and personal. And, as it can be hereditary, having watched it, I won’t put my wife through that. I commend him and am ashamed of my ignorant judgement. If it happens to me…I hope I have the courage to spare those I love from the pain of watching the extremely aggressive disease destroy the person I am.

Miss you Robin…
