Robin Williams before his performance at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Oct. 28, 2009.

The death of Robin Williams has affected millions of people around the world and has sparked heated debates about depression and suicide. In Syracuse, however, we also want to fondly remember his life and work.

In this video tribute (above) titled "Dear Robin Williams," Central New Yorkers reminisce about the comedian's greatest moments and movies, from "Mork & Mindy" to "Popeye."

Chad Hayes of Syracuse credits his father for introducing him to Williams, by way of the comedian Jonathan Winter.

"Unfortunately, my son is too young to yet know and appreciate the talent that was Robin Williams," said Hayes.

Luckily for us, his films aren't going anywhere.
