     "Gene [Siskel] was a lifelong friend, and our professional
      competition only strengthened that bond. He showed great
      bravery in the months after his surgery, continuing to work
      as long as he could. As a critic, he was passionate and
      exacting. As a husband and a father, his love knew no bounds."

            -- Roger Ebert on the death of his TV Partner and Friend
