Comedy Legend dies at the age of 69

Comedic genius, Harold Ramis, died today at the age of 69.  I had no idea he was battling an autoimmune disease for the last 4 years. 

Ramis was a great director, writer and actor who was involved in some of the funniest movies of all-time.  Below is a quick insight into some of his many talents.

Director
  • Caddyshack
  • National Lampoon's Vacation
  • Groundhog Day
Writer
  • Caddyshack
  • Stripes
  • Ghostbusters
  • Groundhog Day
Actor

  • Stripes
  • Ghostbusters
  • Ghostbusters II
  • Knocked Up

Stripes is one of my all-time favorite movies and gave me some of the most quotable lines out there.  Herself gave me a Harold Ramis DVD 3-pack that included "Stripes", "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day".  Might have to revisit those during some evenings this week. 

RIP Harold Ramis - you were a funny guy.  And that's a fact, Jack!
