Harold Ramis Dead at 69

Most of us may remember Harold Ramis, as the adorable and charming member of the Ghostbuster's team. He was also a writer and director. To his comedic credit as an actor, Ramis played in classics such as "Groundhog Day," "Animal House," and "Caddyshack." Ramis died at age 69 on Monday February 24th in his home in Chicago due to illness says a representative of Mr. Ramis (NYTimes).

Perhaps we never imagined our childhood heroes were aging with the rest of us. Quite Frankly, I am somewhat astonished at myself to come to the realization that I had imagined my beloved Ghostbuster team forever immortal. Mr. Ramis was endeared by millions over the course of his 36 year career. The mark he, Dan Aykroid and Bill Murray left on my generation will not soon be forgotten.

  2. He was great even in small roles. He had a small part as the out of touch investment banker husband in "Baby Boom" which starred Diane Keaton. I thought he was hilarious in his few minutes in that movie.

    I will now shed a tiny ectoplasm tear.
