Public memorial for Bernie Mac planned

10:55 AM CDT on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

A public memorial for comedian Bernie Mac, who died Saturday at age 50 of complications from pneumonia, will be Saturday in Chicago.

Services are scheduled for noon in the 10,000-seat House of Hope.

Ironically, Mr. Mac and Isaac Hayes, who died Sunday at age 65, were to appear in Samuel L. Jackson’s upcoming film, Soul Men.

Both were to play former soul singers who haven’t spoken to each other in 20 years and agree to travel cross-country to attend a reunion concert at New York City’s Apollo Theater.

Not really much I can say on this subject except what a shame. Bernie has played some phenomenal roles and brought us many gut wrenching laughs throughout the years. Brad Pitt and George Clooney paid a nice tribute to the recent funnyman, tribute
. Clooney stated: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly.” Thanks for everything Bernie. And a word to the wise, actors must stay away from Samuel L. Jackson, his 2 lead actors died on the same weekend. Coincidence??????
