If you grew up in th 70s you could not help but run int Sherman Hemsley. Starting on All in the Family on thn moving on up to his own show, George Jefferson was a mainstay on television.
In the 1980s he played Deacon Ernest Frye another unforgettable character. All his characters were, in my view, hilarious.
Mr. Hemsley just died on July 24 of this tear and I thought a Tribute diary was in order.
