On August 9th, I was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of my friend Bernie Mac. Although I can't claim to say I knew him well, the time we spent together while we worked on Oceans 11, was something I'll never forget. What a wonderful, kind, and funny man he was. It was an honor to know him.
He always spoke so lovingly of him wife and family as well as his home town of Chicago. I will always appreciate his kind words and support of my artwork. Your smiling face and sharp humor will be greatly missed by many, especially me. The world is a lesser place without you!
