Admittedly, the one thing that always bummed me out about the possibility of a GB3 when Harold was still alive, was that Egon would now be fat (not that there's anything wrong with fat people), unless Harold underwent radical weight loss. As terrible as it sounds, if there was a silver lining to Harold's death, it's that Egon could remain the awkward beanpole we all know and love. It'll be interesting to see if that image remains, or if fat Egon will now be canon...
There was an interview with Harold Ramis back when Orange County was out in theaters. He was recounting a time he was in a supermarket with his wife, and someone came up to his wife and asked, "Is that Egon from Ghostbusters?" Harold's wife replied, "Yes, it is." And then the person goes, "Wow, he got fat. What happened!?" Or something to that effect.
It is a bit jarring to see the difference between Harold in the 80s and Harold in the 2000s. I'd still prefer to have him appear in the flesh, being over weight. His character was just so iconic. If he does appear, my guess is it will be old photos and video footage from the first two films.
