Sharing a photo of his dad sitting cross legged, as if he were meditating, he said: “Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world. There’s not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch. I’m so grateful and proud to be your son. Love you forever.”
Williams helping others who have suffered from loss
In order to remember his dad and to help others who are also dealing with grief, Williams has teamed up with wife Olivia Jane to create a supplement company called Prepare Your Mind (PYM).
PYM is a wellbeing company that offers chewables, pills, and powders.

Meanwhile his d Zelda announced she was taking a break from social media on the second anniversary of the Robin’s death, six years ago
At the time, she explained: “For those who always ask why, it’s so people can memorialise Dad on the anniversary of his death however they wish without me having to feel bombarded by it, or pressured by the expectation put on myself or my family to publicly acknowledge or join in doing so.
“I will always be so grateful for all the love the world had and continues to have for dad, but for obvious reasons, it’s sometimes harder to be the sort of surviving public vessel for receiving those sentiments, and one often expected to somehow flawlessly express them back.”
