Caddyshack Director Harold Ramis Dies At Age 69

Caddyshack director Harold Ramis has passed away. He was 69.

Ramis also directed Groundhog Day and starred in Ghostbusters. He was a writer for National Lampoon’s Animal House

The cause of death is reported as “complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels.”

Truly an American comedy giant. He will be missed.

To quote a friend of mine: I think he should have the option of being a Class Five full roaming vapor if he so chooses.
