Wow, 50 is awfully young to succomb to pneumonia. He had sarcoidosis in the past, so perhaps his lungs were all scarred up and he had poor lung capacity. That sucks.

That's an interesting quote, Lecter. Where did you get that?

A Mexican pirate and slave-trader's empty tomb on Isla Mujeres bears a similar phrase: As you are, I was. As I am, you will be. However, I believe the general message is a far older momento mori, examples of which usage I'm too lazy to pull up.

Given the similarities in their respective namesakes, I imagine that this holds special significance for Leebs.

And, yes, this does suck. I was never a fan of Bernie Mac or his show, but he was a talented guy, even if he didn't suit my tastes. Its a particular shame, since we seem to be running out of actors this year.

Agreed. Not a fan, but I remember he was funny in Ocean's 11.

Thanks for the info, Lecter, it is an interesting quote.
