Gene Wilder

I was about to say he was too young to go but he was 83.
RIP fella.
 
Funny fella. I must be getting old...all these people who are dying seem to be part of the fabric of my life! Who hasn't wished they'd won the golden ticket?!
 
Always a favourite, loved how he could do both innocent and neurotic characters at the same time.
 
Blazing Saddles (1974)

Jim: Well, it got so that every piss-ant prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking down the street when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around... and there I was, face to face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass. So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle... and I've been there ever since.

I just said the exact same thing, all the people you shaped my youth are now dying and it hits home just how time flies by.

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor where one of the best double acts i recall.
