I was a punk kid from rural Ontario and I was in my dressing room, terrified. #RIPRobinWilliams

I was on the phone to a friend back home when the funniest man in the world ambled by. #RIPRobinWilliams
@normmacdonald
There was no one else on the floor. In shock, I told my friend who just walked by. Only the funniest man in the world. #RIPRobinWilliams
@normmacdonald
I guess he heard me say his name, cause in an instant he was at my side. #RIPRobinWilliams
@normmacdonald
He was a jewish tailor, taking my measurements. He went down on his knees, asked which way I dressed. #RIPRobinWilliams

The funniest man alive was in my dressing room a good half-hour and was far funnier than the set I had to do soon.#RIPRobinWilliams
