Our hearts are with family, friends and fans of Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr., whose portrayal of a celebrated Cuban musician living with Alzheimer's in "The Cuban" helped raise important awareness. In his words "In the times we are all living through: Eat breakfast, spend time with your pets, be grateful for each day you have on this planet. Seize the day, and keep the music playing." #ENDALZ
