I remember watching “The Jeffersons” when I was young.
that made me so sad – one of my favorite memories of being at my grandma’s house was watching The Jefferson’s with her.
This is sad! He’s the same age as my dad.
He was so funny! RIP Mr. Hemsley.
Aw, I loved him.
It is so sad.
I saw this on Facebook news. So sad. I hate seeing my favorite show actors as a child leaving us
So sad…
It’s kinda freaky when people are starting to die from shows I watched as a child! RIP.
So sad! I used to watch The Jeffersons on Nick at Night when I was little &I thought it was hilarious- especially him!
This is sad. My dad used to love watching that show.
Rest in peace Mr. Jefferson.
My husband and I when we first got together would watch The Jeffersons every night at 10:00pm, laying on the couch rubbing feet
Great memories of that show.
This made me so sad.
I grew up watching the Jeffersons and was sad to hear of his passing. Someone said it best though when they said ” he is now in the ultimate deluxe apartment in the sky”.
That’s very sad! I love the Jefferson’s, it’s still one of my favorite shows to watch. It breaks my heart to hear this news, he’ll be dearly missed!
I heard about this last night. So sad.
Yeah, I was surprised to see that yesterday. God bless his soul!
So very sad.
I loved watching the Jeffersons, so sad that he passed away!
So sad! Such a funny man!
So sad. 74 is much too young. I hope he had a happy life.
That’s so sad and seems young still.
