“Goin’ everywhere until I get the special shot. And then probably keep going cause I’m addicted to this shit. Peace out".

I am broken. I am gutted.  I am in complete and utter shock.  I will never ever have another friend like him.  I love you so much Bobby.

How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor also added this via Twitter. 

I had so much imposter syndrome when HIMYM started, thought I’d be found out, kicked off set & sent home. When I'd run into Bob on the Fox lot in those early days he'd gush over my performance & tell me how he was studying me to make sure his vocal performance felt right. 2/7

There are people who leave the earth and you’re haunted by all the things you didn’t tell them, all the love that was unexpressed. Luckily that wasn’t the case with Bob. We adored each other and we told each other. 6/7 https://t.co/U3WITMhP1C
