Selfies, Rock Garden Pay Tribute to Robin Williams at ‘Mrs. Doubtfire' House in San Francisco
By Lisa Fernandez ••
As the world marks the somber one-year anniversary of Robin Williams' death, fans of the comedic genius are traveling to the neighborhood made famous in the "Mrs. Doubtfire" movie to take selfies on the porch and capture the image of rock garden in front of the San Francisco home.
Emmanuel Vozos, 29, of New Jersey was one of those fans who posed in front of 2640 Steiner St. this summer to snap pictures of the touching rock garden bearing short messages to Williams, who committed suicide on Aug. 11, 2014.
But fans haven't just written "I love you Robin" and "RIP Robin Williams" on the stones. They've also written loving words on tree leaves and on the sidewalk, too.
Vozos posted one of those photos on Instagram on Tuesday, as a small homage to the man who made the world light up with laughter.
"It was really bittersweet," said Vozos, after visiting the home featured in Williams' 1993 blockbuster film.
"But while today is sad," he said, "there is so much positivity about his work. He was such a big part of my childhood."
