In Memoriam

It’s been a week since the news that we lost Robin Williams.

It’s taken me the past week just to process the loss for myself, let alone figure out the best way to pay tribute a man who touched so many lives.

It’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t been touched in some way by his movies/tv shows, his kind soul, or his infectious laugh.  I’m from a generation that can remember Mork & Mindy.

His movies made you laugh.

Mrs. Doubtfire.

Jumanji.

 The moment I hear.

‘Good Morning Vietnam’

I hear Robin Williams.

He earned an Academy Award for Good Will Hunting and encouraged two young men to take on Hollywood.

And lets not forget this guy….

Generations of kids learned how to be a ‘Friend like Me’ through Robin Williams.

He was re-introduced to new generations as Theodore Roosevelt in the Night at the Museum Series.  The series reminded me how much he made me laugh.

Even a week after hearing the news I still get tears in my eyes.

But Robin was about laughter!

Sylum has always given tribute to those who have inspired us.

So in Sylum style – lefts ups a glass of cider.

To Robin. Thanks for the laughter. For the tears.  You’ve been an inspiration. A humanitarian.  And you will be missed.

A Robin Williams character will be introduced in Sylum.

He’s inspired so many and will be immortalized for all.

To honor Men and Women in Uniform who put their lives on the line and given the ultimate sacrifice for our Protection.

As we come to the close of 2013 it’s a time to reflect on those we’ve lost.

Feel free to reply – posting about those you’ve lost and want to remember this New Years Eve.

In Memoriam

Paul Walker: 1973 – 2013

It was sad news yesterday to hear of the tragic accident that took Paul Walker’s life, and that of his friend.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends.  Especially to Paul’s daughter, and his family with the Fast/Furious Cast & Crew.

Sylum has always been about honoring our favorite characters by keeping them alive in the Sylum Universe.

It is also about honoring the actors that have portrayed those characters.

Paul Walker is the inspiration for three characters in Sylum:

Brian O’Conner

Jerry Shepard

Joseph Gazelle

These Characters will live on in the Sylum Universe as an honor and tribute to a great actor and humanitarian.

As Sylum  Advent starts today – lets remember the joy of Sylum and the wonderful characters that have inspired us all for almost a decade!

Ode to the Fallen by: Laurence Binyon

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Thank You to all the Veterans World Wide for your Bravery, Sacrifice and Loyalty.
