Rest in peace, thanks for the laughs.

Sorry to hear news of his passing.

RIP.

coincidentally--in a promo for the show... It was not related to anything current with the actor nor that he'd died.

Strange coincidence, though, because he was on my mind as a result.

I grew up with The Jeffersons so this is very sad to hear.

He was nothing like that character in real life. He was actually a very shy person who was into some really cool music.

I really enjoyed him on The Jeffersons.

often...

I'm so old I remember The Jeffersons was a spin off of All In The Family.

He and Carroll O'Connor were so funny arguing with each other on "All in the Family."

RIP Mr. Hemsley.

and if accurate, it seems he was quite a prog rock fan - dancing to Gentle Giant tunes and collaborating with Jon Anderson from 'Yes' on an album which was not released. Neat! I never knew that about him.

(Yes, I know it's Wikipedia, so it could all be BS. But I sure would like to believe that SH had great taste in music)

Who could forget George Jefferson - those were the best of times.

Meanwhile, we're stuck with the Kardashians, the Palins, Snooki, Bieber, and other no-talent overexposed boneheads!

and he was a huge part of it.....RIP

Loved him on "All in the Family," "Amen" and especially "The Jeffersons." Before anyone else says it, I guess he really is "Movin' on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky..." Godspeed, George! We'll miss you...

With his beloved Weezy.

Thanks for all the great laughs, Mr. Hemsley. We loved "The Jeffersons." Never missed it! And he was great in everything else he did, too. But his George Jefferson character just really struck a chord with people.

Damn. We're losing a LOT of wonderful artists these days.

He was a great actor and George Jefferson was an iconic character.

He has moved on up to that big mansion in the sky.

RIP. He gave me many a laugh.

Sad news, he had a long, long career and many friends.....

For a talented Philadelphian who made us laugh.

You're movin' on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky.

Damn...RIP Mr. Hemsley.

Damn, she looked good...I think they're all gone now...their neighbors and Mr. Brinkley as well.
