Harold Ramis 1944 – 2014

I am absolutely gutted to be writing this. News emerged today that much loved actor, writer and director Harold Ramis sadly passed away. He was 69 yrs old and had been fighting illness for the past few years. He died from complications resulting from auto-immune inflammatory vasculitis, which is an inflammation of the blood vessels. Harold Ramis was a massive part of my youth, as I am sure he was for many people. He is of course probably best known for playing Egon Spengler in the Ghostbusters movies, but he was also a brilliant writer and director responsible for films like Caddyshack, National Lampoon’s Vacation and Multiplicity. He will be greatly missed by all and my thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.
