R.I.P. BERNIE MAC

Yes, you are reading that correctly, legendary black comedian Bernie Mac has died.
This news came just over a week after he became hospitalized with pneumonia, and it was complications with the virus that took his life, aged just 50.
Bernie had acted in several films including Oceans 11, 12 and 13 films, he also played the part of Bosley in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
For 5 years (2001 - 2006) Bernie played the part of the no-nonesense father on the self named Bernie Mac Show.
He also earned 2 Emmy nominations for his stand-up comedy act, something which I found hilarious to watch.
Bernie, born as Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, leaves behind a family, a wife of more than 30 years to him.

At times like this, there is not a lot that we can do for his family at these rough times, but my prayers and thoughts are with his family.

The world really has lost a great, great man, comedian, actor and public figure.

Rest In Peace.

Bernie Mac 1957 - 2008
