Mr. Romero passing on is unfortunate for us fans who enjoyed his work thru the decades, but he'll always be remembered for creating a entire genre. Much like the Superhero genre, the modern day zombie genre arguably started with Romero's Night of the Living Dead, and that popularized influential interpretation of "zombies" continues to this day thru films, and tv series.
