3. I just saw Ossie in the newish Spike Lee Joint..

"She Hate Me"..

Ya'll should check out that flick cause for one thing ..it shows a lot of different bills(as in money) in the beginning and they have bush on a three dollar bill.

It also has flash backs to the Watergate break-in.. that are mesmerizing!

interview they did with him. Ruby Dee and him were together for 60 years!!! Great loss so many areas.

9. Oh no. Not Ossie.

That is so, so sad. I know he was getting on in years, but he was still so full of life.

I hope his wife, Ruby Dee, is doing okay. How sad. ;(

11. Mr. Ossie Davis

God bless. I admired him, because he always seemed to have a sense of decency about him. He seemed to always care about doing the right thing, and lifting up the least among us.

In honor of Mr. Davis' memory, I would like to offer the following scripture. It's what I believe the Lord will say to Ossie Davis.

Matthew 25:21:

"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

12. I honestly can't imagine one w/out the other--

I was coming here to post about his death, but saw this thread was already started.

I'm so sad about this... I can't believe it.
