Joel Siegel's Passing

It was a sad day for most of us who watch WABC-TV and ABC News. A very well known personality here in the Tri-State Area has passed away. Joe Siegel, died this afternoon of Colon Cancer, he had lost the battle. Very sad and tragic for many of us here. Here is a tribute video that WABC-TV aired on tonight's broadcast of Eyewitness News. He was a very lighthearted and good person. My utmost condolences go out to his family for such a tragic loss.

Joel was also a movie critic on ABC's "Good Morning America" and Roger Ebert's guest critic on "Roger Ebert & The Movies".
