Los Angeles - The husband of the person who found
Robin Williams' body has penned a touching tribute
to the late star.
Dan Spencer - who is married to the Mrs. Doubtfire
star's close friend and personal assistant Rebecca
Erwin Spencer - spoke movingly of the ''lonely little
boy'' and his life-long love of games.
He posted on Facebook: ''As a little boy, he was
alone in his room with his toy soldiers while his
parents went off on business trips.

You can imagine his mother and father telling him
to be a good little soldier while they were away.
Then he would be left alone to play with his friends,
which were little Army men. When his parents
returned, he received a gift, a token for his good
behavior, maybe more little soldiers to add to his
collection.
Those toys remained with him throughout his life
and were often given prominent space in his home
on specially crafted display cases. He discovered
video games, first-person shooters for computer
and then for Xbox.
Name a game, no matter how obscure, and he
owned it. He played his soldier games even up to
age 62. We had an expression for his avid gaming.
We said he was in there 'saving the world.

He then went on to recall Robin's work with the
United Service Organisation (USO), and how he
''conquered the world'' as he visited war-torn areas
like Afghanistan and Iraq to entertain the troops.
And while the tragic star - who married third wife
Susan Schneider in 2011 - had a happy ending'' in
sight, Dan told how his loved ones were left
''heartbroken'' watching his ''final conflict'' with
depression.
He concluded: ''In his advancing years, our hero
found a new love who we knew would march with
him to the end of the rainbow. After decades of
battles, a happy ending was in sight.
But his final conflict was heartbreaking to witness.
Oh, if you could only have seen the war raging
inside him. It would have stopped your heart. We
fought the fight with him, but it left him defeated.
Now our hero has laid down his arms. He has bid
his soldiers farewell. The final fight is over. At last,
that lonely little boy is at peace.''
