Zak &#8212; who Robin welcomed during his 10-year marriage to\u00a0Valerie Velardi &#8212; paid homage to his comedian father with a simple and beautiful message accompanied by a smiling photo of Robin from his <\/span><em><span>Mork &amp; Mindy<\/span><\/em><span> days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Dad, it&#8217;s hard to believe it&#8217;s been 10 years.

Dad didn&#8217;t own a pet monkey, NO ONE should, and if you&#8217;re ever tempted to, support your local exotic animal rescues instead. That is his<\/span><em><span> Night at the Museum<\/span><\/em><span> costar, who now lives at one,&#8221; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zeldawilliams\/status\/1822560156229787852\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">she wrote<\/a><span>\u00a0alongside\u00a0a picture of her father and the monkey from the film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a follow-up tweet, she urged social media users to be skeptical of what they read online and to &#8220;do something nice for yourself&#8221; instead of giving clicks to inaccurate reports surrounding her father and his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;And since more completely false or badly researched posts are likely to go viral on Dad&#8217;s death anniversary, maybe just assume they&#8217;re all BS (they usually are). Ignore the creepy robots trying to farm your clicks &amp; do something nice for yourself instead.

At the time, Zak marked the occasion with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/robin-williams-son-remembers-actor-on-what-wouldve-been-his-73rd-birthday-229499\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a sweet note to his father<\/a><span> accompanied by a black and white picture of his dad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world. There&#8217;s not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch,&#8221; Zak penned in his X tribute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He continued, &#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful to be your son.
