What's your thoughts about our Candy Man Gene Wilder passing?

[BFG]

he was a great man, one of the few comedians that tickled my funny bones (even though he, himself claimed that he didn't think he was funny). I was thinking about him and his health just last month, a very sad coincidence. rest well buddy, you'll never be forgotten.

My thoughts? I'm sad about it. I had no idea he was that old!

"My name is Leo Bloom, I'm an accountant and I'm so sorry I caught you with the old lady!"

Rest in peace, sir, you will be missed.

[Oberron]

You will be missed, sir.
No wonder he was old.

To think that I watched `Young Frankenstein` movie in DVD together with two friends just before the news spread out...
