Title: RIP Gene Wilder Post by: The_Beach on August 29, 2016, 12:43:47 PM Gene Wilder most known for his main role as Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory died today, August 29, 2016, of complications of Alzheimer’s disease! Alzheimer is such a horrible disease!

I've had close family members affected by every disease there is...but I can't joke about alzheimers. It's never funny to me in any way. Just mentinng it is scary to me. I can almost trick myself into losing my mind pre-emptively. The very thought of it is terriifying. He was a great actor/ best movie: The PRoducers. :3d Title: Re: RIP Gene Wilder Post by: rn57 on August 29, 2016, 06:47:07 PM In case your wondering why this thread goes here and not the Sandbox it's because Gene had a bit to do with music besides even singing Pure Imagination.
