Harold Ramis passes away at age 69

[jasonw2112]

This thread has made me feel more depressed! I remember at the age of 7, my parents taking me to see

The movie. From there I made a proton pack, out of an old book bag, and toy gun parts. I didn't think an

Actors death would bother me so much, but I guess it's because it was a part of my childhood. Than

6 years ago, I made a movie accurate proton pack, and ghost trap! Still feel like a kid sometimes I guess!

RIP Mr. Ramis. Enjoyed you as Egon and your directorial works. :*(

What?! :eek

Damn!


Besides his mainstream work, I remember him from his SCTV days.

Goodbye Harold. Thanks for the memories. :cry

Sad days he will be missed

So sad to hear this, he was brilliant in pretty much everything. This past 12 months have really been something with the loss of many from the movie business...

 

[Nwerke]

Wow. That was really unexpected.

 

[Apollo]

Horrible news!

While I never got to meet him I always bugged Danny Aykroyd for stories about him.

A true comedic Genuis has been lost

In recent years Ramis's writing was the strongest asset that GB#3 still had going for it.

I can't imagine anything good coming of GB#3 now.

He was the glue that made the stories believable and funny as hell.

I'm sorry to hear this.

What a loss.

He definitely shaped the younger years of my childhood. Ghostbusters was the one movie (besides Wizard of Oz), I wore the VHS out on from watching it on repeat.

His movies were a staple in my household growing up.

I do hope they let the GB3 script go with him. I had alot of apprehension about it before hand, but now it will just seem horribly cheap if they make it with him gone.

RIP Spengler.

Truly a hero, from child-to-adulthood and onward. Murry was never as great unless guided by his hand, which was one of understated comedic genius and no words of praise on a forum can come close to doing his work justice.

I think Ghostbusters around the world should henceforth have a small shoulder patch bearing the name "Egon" to honor him.

All these images floating around are so touching and really bring it home.

Such a sad thing to hear. You just don't expect to hear about some people passing away. But it happens. It seems to hurt more since so many people here connected to him.

You will be missed...

 

[Amish Trooper]

Egon but not forgotten. The world just got a little more sad.

Already outed as a picture taken at an earlier date. The sign is not out there.

Yep, they updated the article. Hopefully this online buzz will actually lead them to put out the sign.

I agree. Would love to see it back out there for a bit as tribute to one of the guys that made that building famous.

For those who've never been to the firehouse, there is a GB thingie painted on the sidewalk in front of the place.

You know that one just doesn't seem right to me. I don't think they would trap him.
