He seemed like a guy that was opinionated and would stick to his guns, but his heart was in the right place. Can't ask for much more than that. He'll be missed.
I agree with you. I'm also affected by his death. I consider him a real Chicago icon. I'd get a sense of pride as dumb as that may sound, watching he and Siskel on Letterman or Ebert alone on shows since Siskel's death.
I found Roger's article on death quite interesting.

I do believe there is a heaven but I have zero proof and I can certainly see Roger's logic in the fact when we die we're in the same state of nothingness as before we were born. I'm glad his death is getting a lot of attention. I agree with you that even though I never knew the man, it SEEMED his heart appeared to be in the right place.
