Robin Williams was remembered by friends and family at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on Saturday, Sept. 27 reports Us Weekly.
Hundreds of guests gathered to remember the comic genius including Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Green, Ben Stiller, George Lucas, Danny DeVito, Josh Groban, Governor Jerry Brown and Nancy Pelosi.
Billy Crystal, who paid tribute to his pal at the Emmy Awards last month, opened the service. An insider told the magazine that, “he was in tears.” Goldberg and Williams’ three children also spoke.
Music was played by a band, posters of Williams were displayed and mourners received ribbon wristbands that read: “Love the stillness of life.”
The actor and comedian took his own life on August 11 at the age of 63.
