So long Bernie Mac

Bernie Mac was a great actor and I will always remember him. He died on august 9, 2008 (three days ago).

This was copied from Wikipedia:

Mac was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised by a single mother, Mary. She died of cancer when he was 16 years old.[2] Mac attended Chicago Vocational Career Academy and started his comedy career during high school. He put on shows for neighborhood kids on Chicago's South Side, until moving to Tampa, Florida. During his 20s he worked in a variety of jobs, including furniture mover, UPS agent and bread delivery sales rep.[3]

Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005.[1]

On August 1, 2008, Mac was hospitalized with what his publicist claimed was pneumonia. The next day, responding to rumors that the actor was in "very, very critical condition," his publicist said that he was responding well to treatment, and should be released soon.[7] On August 9, his publicist announced that Mac had died from complications of pneumonia unrelated to sarcoidosis.[1]

The 2008 Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago, on the day he died, was dedicated to his memory.[8]

At the time of his death, Bernie Mac was working on the movie Soul Men with Isaac Hayes who, coincidentally, died the day after him.
