Eulogy for Roger Ebert
Rest in peace Roger Ebert: 1942 - 2013. He will be forever remembered as the greatest movie critic of the twentieth century and as a truly brave soul for the immense courage displayed throughout his battle against cancer. He contracted cancer of the thyroid, salivary glands and chin, lost his ability to eat, drink and speak, had most of his jaw surgically removed, and still continued to write and enjoy his family up until the very end. Talk about a raging bull. I will surely miss reading his reviews for upcoming movies. What an irreparable loss.
