I mean, as somebody who — I not just watched Robin my whole life, but I've studied him…"He's quite literally singular… There’s nobody else like him before him or after him. There'll never will be."So, I'm incredibly honored and touched to be here and also just to spend time with Mr. Williams’ family… This is incredible.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Originally published on celebretainment.com, part of the BLOX Digital Content Exchange.Log InKeep it Clean.
