Yesterday the geek world was rocked by news of the death of Harold Ramis. Ramis is perhaps best known as Dr. Egon Spengler in the “Ghostbusters” franchise, but he had a prolific career as an actor, writer, director, and producer. He donned many hats in his time here and left an indelible mark on all of our minds. The response to his death has been heavy and emotional, more than is usually seen with the loss of a celebrity. He was loved by many and his passing has left us saddened, but also inspired.
We’ve seen an outpouring of art in the last 24 hours, some very talented people felt an immediate need to memorialize Mr. Ramis in the best way they know how, through their craft. Some are silly, some are straightforward, some are sad, but they are all wonderful.
