I grew up loving movies like Aladdin, Hook, Jumanji, and Mrs. Doubtfire. But my full appreciation for his sense of humor didn't happen until I saw him live.
My wife's uncle worked on his crew when he did the weapons of self destruction tour. He came to town and he got us some tickets. I don't think I have ever laughed as hard as I did that night. I was shocked because I didn't know him that way. Totally opened my eyes to who he was. After the show, we got the tour and was lucky enough to meet him. He was the nicest person in the world and this was the first real celebrity that I met so I was surprised.
I looked at him differently since that day and was able to go back and see his work done for all the other generations he made laugh and it was a pleasure. I have a ton of respect for him and it is terrible he is no longer with us. Way too soon...Rest in peace, Mr. Williams.
