Greetings TRF,

I've just read the sad news that James Avery, well known for playing Philip Banks in the sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, passed away today due to complications after a surgery. He was 68 years old.

Rest in peace Uncle Phil...

An unfortunate passing. I always enjoyed watching The Fresh Prince.

Man, I'm so bummed out. Growing up, The Fresh Prince was my favorite show. Uncle Phil was such a funny character and James Avery seemed like a really nice guy in person.

RIP Mr. Avery

When I heard about Uncle Phil I remembered you referencing the show, Carl. He was one of TV's 'good guys'.

vitalsignsrn · 3 January 2014, 03:39 PM

I used to watch that show and laugh my head off. Will was always causing Uncle Phill some kind of brain trauma. LOL

Will miss him.. R. I . P…. :-) Thank you for some wonderful memories Uncle Phill.. :-)
