Zachary Pym Williams, son of the beloved actor Robin Williams, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram to honor his father’s birthday.
“Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world,” Zachary Pym Williams expressed on Instagram on Sunday.
Accompanying the post was a nostalgic black and white photo of Robin Williams, seated with a serene smile, legs crossed in a meditative pose. He exuded a sense of peace and joy, true to the spirit he was known for.
“There’s not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch,” continued Zachary, recalling the deep and lasting impact his father made on countless lives.
Robin Williams, who left us too soon at the age of 63 in August of 2014, continues to be remembered fondly. The Oscar-winning actor lit up the screen in timeless classics like “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Dead Poets Society,” “Jumanji,” and “Good Morning, Vietnam.” His unique blend of humor and humanity left an indelible mark on Hollywood and his fans around the globe.
