He was the guy who couldn't live without a plate of something to eat :). The guy who always made us double over in laughter as he literally played cats and dogs with his nephew Will. No doubt, we all fell in love with James Avery a.k.a Uncle Phil back in the day.
It's such a sad thing we had to end the New Year's day with the sad news that he passed on today after undergoing surgery for an "undisclosed illness and having developed complications".
Avery was not only actor in his 65 years of existence. As a young man, he joined the US Navy and served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. He also wrote TV scripts and poetry for PBS in his early life and in his late adult life lent his voice to over a number of animated series including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
There never really is a right time to say goodbye. R.I.P James Avery. We miss him already.
