Wow, didn't know he was sick. His contributions to the industry are endless. I first saw him on Second City TV.

Didn't know he was sick either. Encore had been playing Stripes and Meatballs a lot lately don't know if it was related or just coincidence. RiP.

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

A very talented comedic writer.

He will be sorely missed.

And like ImTellinTim, I will not tire of watching his movies over and over again.

SCTV....

The best of comedy.
Only the early days of SNL rivaled it IMO.
(I realize it's probably sensitive to generational factors though)

This is terribly sad! He was fantastic!

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

Not only a fantastic comedic actor but he turned into a pretty damn good director too. Like most everyone here I didn't know he was sick either.

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

Ghostbusters was huge for me as a child of the 80s. My friends and I had proton packs and everything...RIP.

The first Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies of all time.

See you on the other side Egon.

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

One of my favorite lines in Ghostbusters:

"Do......Ray.....EGON!"

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

Yup, I also go as far back as his SCTV days as well as his early movies with Bill Murray and (the TRULY classic) "Animal House"...

Hard to put into current context how "counterculture" those things (along with very early SNL) were at the time...

RIP to a guy who made me laugh heartily and often!

Re: RIP Harold Ramis

Ghostbusters was my favorite childhood movie and Egon was my favorite ghostbusters. Really sad day for people who like to laugh.
