Roger Ebert Passes

[boss]

Good to know I'm not the only U of I grad here. When were you there? I got my B.A. in 93 and my M.S. in 96.

BS in '92. My wife got her BS in '93 and MA in '95. We continued to live in the area until 1998. Wyattb was also there around then too. I spent many hours in Gregory Hall as an advertising major in the college of communications.

Very sad to hear. I too remember watching him and Gene on Sneak Previews on PBS when I was a kid. I always enjoyed watching and reading his reviews, he will truly be missed.

What a shame. My mom and I used to love watching Siskel and Ebert's movie review. RIP

I watched him and Gene's reviews all the time. Sad day.

Siskel and Ebert really helped me to grow up loving movies. I watched them every week for years. I read a very touching interview with him a few years back chronicling his struggles and his relationship with Siskel. He was also a truly great writer. I am very saddened at this news having just read that his cancer had returned. RIP Mr. Ebert.

I too had my difference of opinion with him. But he always carried himself with class and dignity. RIP Roger.
