One of my many (literally dozens) of favorite comedians, Bernie Mac, known for his FOX sit-com and many movies spanning several decades, passed away early Saturday morning, August 9, 2008. The death was, according to his publicist, related to symptoms from pneumonia that he had been hospitalized for previously this week. Mac had also been fighting an inflammatory lung disease that had relapsed from a 3 year dormancy. He was only 50 years old.

An asset to the entire world of comedic entertainment, Mac will be missed by all, and forgotten by none. Rest in Peace, Bernie! :’(
