[Magdalen] RIP Gene Wilder.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I listened to some lovely stories about him this afternoon on NPR while in 
the studio. There was an interview with one of his sons who said that Gene 
never wanted people to know he had Alzheimers because it might make them 
sad, so in the early days of the disease, when he was still going out in 
public a lot, he still interacted with people.  He was such an amazing 
person who I kind of think was really that way in real life too, which is 
often not the case with great comics. I had no idea he was as old as he was.

May his memory be eternal

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
