I agree - I had a feeling that he wouldn't live a very long time with the news about his health recently but thought he'd see 2017.

 

I just find it incredible how many celebrities are going this year and yet we're only up to 7 on the death list, especially when you consider the longevity and recurring health conditions of many of them!

Such a sad loss, & another hit, for me. Making it a rare occurence, where I now have more hits, than the main list. :o

RIP. I loved him in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Blazing Saddles. Sad to see him go.

Is there anyone else from Blazing Saddles apart from Mel Brooks still alive?

Funny thing, I was looking him up Friday to see if he was good for my DDP team. Then he dies. Looks like Gregg Allman might not make it either, cause I have been researching him for a possibility in my DDP team.

Probably the biggest death of 2016 for me. Young Frankenstein was my favorite.

I'm still very upset for Bowie

He looks very rough, stupid to exclude him this year.

Wow. That guy was right to say that

John "N-word" Hillerman comes to mind.

 

On August 2nd this year David Huddleston died.

He looked like an 83 year old. It didn't mean he was about to die.Well it did, it just so happens, but it didn't have to, if you see what I mean ...

It's sad news really. Gene Wilder is dead. I looked up to see if Jim Carey is dead, and sadly, he's still living

RIP Gene Wilder. As a child of my generation, I knew him first and best as Wonka.

 

And sympathies to all his fans - I know a few folk on here are long on record as big fans of the man. I know how you feel. Even though he was old and ill, Patrick Macnee's death last summer still did for me, and even now I find it hard to watch The Avengers yet.

Christ that is another big death.Sad one too.One of those hits that makes you think back to your childhood and adolescence nostalgically.Most of his work was before my time but timeless. Definitely one of the biggest hits of the year and another one we didn`t see coming.R.I.P :/

Certainly not unexpected but still very much saddened by his passing. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was a favourite of mine growing up and a favourite of my son. Also The Silver Streak, but they don't show that these days.
