R.I.P. Sherman Hemsley
We at JayForce.com, like you, are saddened by the loss of another of our beloved mega-stars. Associated Press (AP), Chicago Tribune, E Online, and other sources have reported that Broadway star turned television icon Sherman Hemsley died of natural causes at his El Paso, Texas, home this past Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Mr. Hemsley was 74 years old. The above vignette, put together by ABC’s Good Morning America is a fitting (and informative) tribute to everyone’s boisterous dad/deacon/in-law archetype. God speed, Mr. Hemsley. You were one of the best…and one of the first to show us real swagger. (Y’all remember that George Jefferson strut!) We will miss you. Rest in Peace.
