Friends and family remembered Robin Williams in a private memorial in San Francisco today. A source tells ET that it happened at the SNH Currant Theater at 1 pm today.

Billy Crystal gave a touching tribute to the late actor at the 2014 Emmys. At the time, he said, "It's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy."
