69 Year Old Harold Ramis, AKA “Dr. Egon Spengler” has Passed

I take to my blog today with sadness. As I grew up, my imagination was fueled by awesome movies like Animal House, Meatballs, Caddyshack, and, of course, Ghostbusters. All of these classic films had one thing in common, a Chicago native named Harold Ramis.

Dr. Egon Spengler died today at 69 years young. I can honestly say that every time Ghostbusters (1 or 2) came on Comedy Central, I  would always catch myself either watching this epic movie for a few minutes or its entirety.

Knowing that there will never be another Ghostbusters movie makes me appreciate the classic ones that have already been.

Thank you Egon for teaching me how awesome it was to make a living out of "Busting Ghosts".... R.I.P

His battle with a rare disease involved a swelling of the blood vessels. You can read more about his passing on ABCNews.com
