He was a comic genius. Your first thoughts of him might be his great characters in Stripes and Ghostbusters. Then it starts to sink in he had a hand in writing and directing Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation, Meatballs and Groundhog Day. He produced Back to School and Multiplicity. He wrote Animal House. If you're a male and Johnny's age, Ramis' quotes roll off your tongue daily.
One of Johnny's all-time favorite Ramis passive aggressive one-liners? "Aw, people don't talk about you behind your back....as far as you know."
So, yeah, Harold Ramis has passed but luckily his iconic works will live on.
