\n\tCary Elwes<\/a>, who starred in Rob Reiner<\/a>\u2019s 1987 fantasy classic \u201cThe Princess Bride<\/a>,\u201d released a statement on Instagram<\/a> Monday night in remembrance of the director and his wife, Michelle Singer, who were found dead<\/a> in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEnough time has passed that I can finally put my grief into words,\u201d Elwes wrote in the caption of his post. \u201cI was 24 when I first met Rob Reiner on \u2018The Princess Bride.\u2019 And from that very first meeting I fell in love with him. I was already a fan of his work so meeting him in person was a dream come true. As we began spending more time together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElwes recalled that the first thing he noticed about Reiner was that he \u201cwore his heart on his sleeve,\u201d and \u201calways tried to find the best in people.\u201d He added that Reiner \u201cloved making movies,\u201d but more than that, he loved \u201cthe experience itself\u201d of creating a film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe used to say, \u2018Once the movie is released it belongs to other people. But while you are making it, that\u2019s your time on the planet, so you wanna make it good,\u2019\u201d Elwes remembered. \u201cAnd boy was my time with him on \u2018The Princess Bride\u2019 beyond great. I can\u2019t remember a single day without laughter. The movie is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Things that Rob held dear. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElwes closed his statement by thanking Reiner and Singer for sharing their life with him and the world at large.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe concluded, \u201cBecause my heart still aches every time I think of you, I know the grief of losing you too soon will likely never go away. Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReiner and Singer\u2019s cause of death was \u201cmultiple sharp force injuries,\u201d according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.<\/a> Hours after they were found dead, their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested <\/a>and booked on suspicion of murder on Monday morning. He was charged with two counts of murder<\/a> in the death of his parents on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
