Ale Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 From Karyn's Facebook: Thank you to everyone who offered their prayers, condolences, and love over the last couple of very difficult days. James called me “Daughter.” Possibly more than he called me “Karyn.” It was something that I took to heart. He truly was a father to me. And he was my good friend. I was blessed to have had the privilege to know him and to spend so much of my life being loved by him. In the last couple of days, I’ve seen just how much James meant to those who never even met him. The role he embodied, of Uncle Phil, touched so many, and brought so much joy. It’s a legacy he would be proud of. Thanks again for all of your love. Please keep his family in your prayers. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Karyn also posted this picture as her cover photo on FB, which I personally just love :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Anyone surprised we still haven't got a quote from Will about James? He hasn't even posted anything on his Facebook... Yeah i kinda am, and i didnt realize so much until i saw an article quoting a lot of celebs and it said there has been no statement yet from Will. He tends to be a bit behind on his facebook, when he posts pics, they are usually from days ago but i thought he would of said something by now. Unless hes thinking of the right thing to say, or even planning something bigger as a tribute. Either way, he should at least say something.

JumpinJack AJ Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 To be honest, I'm not surprised that he hasn't said anything yet. Here's my reasons; like it was mentioned above, he hasn't completely embraced social media. That would be the fastest way for him to get something out there. Secondly, he's is/was in Dubai. He's not in familiar surroundings and probably wants to say something when he's in his element at home, when reality has set in. Additionally, all of the focus is on him since the show mostly focused on his character and because he is the most successful of the cast members. Lastly, FP's never had to deal with a headlining death before. No one knows how he grieves. He may be really shaken and doesn't want to share it his thoughts, words, and feelings just yet. Let's be honest, James is a huge part of his success and abilities. FP came on that TV show not knowing anything about professional acting. James' insight and assistance made "Willywood." In the early days, James could have been like "I'm way too good for this role, this show, and to be playing second fiddle to this rapper"...but he wasn't. I imagine a lot of things are buzzing in his head right now and he wants to make sure that what he says/shares, will be the best statement he can put together.

gosia Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Lol at Janet Hubert going crazy on her FB about the media attention. I guess answering the phone and saying no comment is harder then I thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 From Alfonso's Facebook: Here's another photo of James from our wedding. It is still hard to believe he is no longer with us. It feels like yesterday when I would drop by his dressing room and learn about some of the great Jazz music he would listen to. Such a warm, inspiring, wonderful man.

Ale Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 From Alfonso's Facebook: We said goodbye to the amazing James Avery last night. I was honored to host the memorial for Barbara Avery. It was a wonderful tribute and celebration of his life. He will be deeply missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I thought I posted this earlier today...but I guess I never actually clicked "Post." LOL The occasion that brought them together is sad, but it's good to see them together. It's a shame FP couldn't make it. It would have also been nice to see Janet make it and all the bad blood be washed away. If anything will do it, it's this loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Janet Hubert: ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ reunion should happen in honor of James Avery “The last time I was here I said, ‘let’s do a reunion.’ That never happened,” she said. “I can’t control that. I’m sorry that never happened, and now it never will, and that makes me sad.”“It’s hard because you realize that we wasted a lot of time with a lot of bulls**t. Will [smith] is the only person that can make that happen, and I think he should. I think in memory of James it should happen.” http://thegrio.com/2014/01/31/janet-hubert-fresh-prince-of-bel-air-reunion-should-happen-in-honor-of-james-avery/#54227689 Edited January 31, 2014 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't think Will would want to be in the same room as Janet after everything shes said about him. I'd love to see another fpoba but im not sure how it could happen. They would need some awesome writers to pull that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
