:eek:


I remember meeting him and his wife as a little girl. :o

I think I saw him on Sesame Street and remeber liking his white hair and that he seemed so eloquent. He reminded me of my grandfather. He'll be missed. My heart goes out to Ruby Dee.

The Davis family and especially Ruby Dee are in my prayers. Their relationship exemplified “Black Love” in the purest form.:(

NO! :(

My prayers are with the family too.

It just does not seem real.... :confused:

My condolences to his family, especially Ruby Dee....:(

R.I.P.

:eek: :(

I really wonder if Ruby will be able to live without him. :(

Condolences to the family. Ossie Davis was a giant who will truly be missed.:(

That's so true. Sadly, when a couple is together for YEARS and one spouse passes, the other seems to go soon after. :(

I was thinking the same thing. My grandmothers and great-grand mothers soon followed their husbands to the afterlife.

Love is a beautiful thing and I really hope Ruby Dee will be okay. :(

:(

RIP, Mr. Davis. I knew that he was up there, but I had no idea that he was 87 years of age. He and Ruby Dee, finally, were getting awards and honors long due to them in the later part of their lives/careers, when the world had changed a bit.

I met both he and Ruby Dee in college; he could not stay for the luncheon but he gave me a hug. I was always so very impressed with him. :(

LG, I said the exact same thing when I heard the news.

So very, very sad...:(

I could not believe it when I heard the news earlier. Ossie and Ruby Dee were showed the world that black love exists and black men can commit their lives to one woman.

Ossie was one star who did not have affairs attached to his name.

Ruby Dee my heart goes out to her and the rest of the Davis family.

That was my first thought too when my homepage opened up with the news of his passing. :(
