I love him as a Fox in Little Prince.

A comic genius in his time...I loved him in "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein"! 
He will be missed and may God Bless Him, Keep Him and may He Rest in Peace!

I had the good fortune to meet Gene Wilder back in the late 1980s in London. I was working for a London-based Scandinavian satellite TV broadcaster that shared studio facilities in Camden with MTV Europe. He was in England doing promotional stuff for a film (his filmography time-line suggests that it must have been See No Evil, Hear No Evil; sadly not one of his best works) and he had come in for an interview with MTV. While he was waiting for the make-up girls to powder his face, we got talking. It was only a brief five-minute conversation but I remember clearly how polite and softly spoken he was. He made everyone feel totally at ease; a true gentleman with none of the histrionics associated with some Hollywood stars.

A great actor. RIP.
Oh god, my heart. I can't take it. The amount of great talent we lost this year is just mind boggling.
He was in many of my favorite films growing up. I am sad that he is gone.
RIP Mr. Wilder. One of the greats. Blazing Saddles is my all time favorite. I suggested to my Mom that she take my Grandmother to see "a great western" well, they went and I never heard the end of it. I didn't think they would actually go. Gram loved it, Mom not so much. I had never seen Gram laugh so much. Thank you Mr. Wilder for bringing out a side of her we had never seen.
One line that always gets me a laugh from Blazing Saddles "to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch"
RIP
