A Short Remembrance To Gene Wilder

I am so saddened by the news today. I didn't hop onto Facebook until about 6pm this evening. I went the whole day not knowing about the tragic news. It is hard to decide between, "The Sound of Music" and this wonderfully, joyous masterpiece, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" which one is my all time favorite.

"As they say in Corsica... Goodbye"
-Gene Wilder 

Gene Wilder's nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman, confirmed his death as complications of Alzheimer disease. Early morning of August 29th 2016 at his house in Stamford, Conn. At the age of 83.

He was the face of an imaginative childhood. A childhood filled with chocolate rivers and soda that made you float. "In a world of, pure imagination". Yes, it was cheesy, but very true!

You were our Willy, our Frankenstein, our Skip... Those blue eyes that could make knees go weak.

You will forever be a big part of my life. My memory.
