RIP Willy Wonka

[AdamJoshua]

This is a tough one, someone who's movies I could watch over and over and always laugh. Rest in Peace, Mr. Wilder, he can finally be with Gilda again.

His nephew said in a statement, “We understand for all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones — this illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognize those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality. The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn’t vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him “there’s Willy Wonka,” would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion. He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world.

That's a bummer.

He left a legacy that will live on for a long, long time. May He Rest In Prace.

So many laughs. The same scene could make me laugh just as hard the 10th time I saw it as it did the first. The world got a little less funny. R.I.P., Gene, you will be missed, but you will be remembered.

Young Frankenstein was one of my favorites.............RIP Mr. Wilder

"..open this door or I'll kick your rotten heads in!!!" One of the funniest bits, him locking himself in with the monster then begging to get out, all the way through "said a give"... even now I'm laughing full well knowing the world is a little less funny tonight.
