THIS IS VERY SAD NEWS TO HAVE RECEIVED A MONTH & A HALF AFTER MR. JOHN AMOS’S PASSING.
YES, PRIVACY IS ESSENTIAL BUT THIS MULTI FACETED ACTING LEGEND DESERVES A MORE RESPECTFUL TRIBUTE FOR THE MEMORABLE WORK OF ART HE HAS LEFT BEHIND.
OF COURSE, MOST FOLKS WILL REMEMBER MR. AMOS FROM “GOOD TIMES” & ROOTS. BUT THERE’S SO MUCH THAT MR. AMOS HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN, MOST MEMORABLE IS PROBABLY “COMING TO AMERICA” A “MARTIN” EPISODE ( PLAYING THE LATE GREAT TOMMY MIKAL FORD’S CHARACTER: TOMMY”‘S MILITANT DAD), PLAYING AN ELDERLY DESTITUTE FORMER NFL FOOTBALL PLAYER ON THE HBO SERIES “BALLERS” IN THE FINAL SEASON AMONG OTHER ROLES.
THIS MAN FOREVER KNOWN AS “JAMES EVANS SR”. FROM GOOD TIMES-(“DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!” FLORIDA EVANS)- DESERVED HIS FLOWERS BEFORE HE LEFT THIS WORLD.
REST WELL, MR. JOHN AMOS
