What nobody seems to have mentioned that he is almost as well known for his generosity. He gave of himself to everyone he met, even complete strangers, at a rate unsustainable by most others.

He once chartered a jet to fly cross-country to spend time with a girl suffering from terminal illness. Through Make-A-Wish, she was supposed to fly out to California for the meeting with Williams but fell so ill she couldn't make the trip. So he did, for her.

It isn't the shows he put on for audiences of thousands that pulls out the grief on social media. It's the light he brought to others where he made those encounters all about audiences of one person at a time.
