He was one of my all time favorites. By all accounts he was a very good man.

In homage to James and Florida, I guess the best reaction here would be "Damn, Damn, Damn!!"

Gotta be honest, I thought he had passed long ago. Always liked the things I saw him in though

I remember Amos performed a one man stage show at A&M in the late 90s. I saw him walking in the MSC with a big grin. Seemed like a nice guy.

Same. This is a Mandela effect where i feel like he's died multiple times.


Fun actor with good roles.

I remember him as the father on "Good Times". That was when I was first aware of him.

Oh man. I loved him.

His best most underrated role was BeastMaster or American Fliers.

Guy had a lot of integrity. When Good Times switched from being a comedy about real family issues for working class black people to the "let's stand around while JJ does something funny", he and the mom character rebelled and both left the show.

Dammit. Loved him. He had the serious but super likable dad thing going for decades. He also looked older than he was early…. And seemingly never aged for a long time.

RIP.

This comes from no slave girl, from beastmaster. I think he is really funny on 2-1/2 men as well. Really great actor that doesn't get his due.

Certainly appears that most entertainers from my childhood are passing.

Amos was known to be a great man.

Told my wife John Amos died and she was shocked thinking I was talking about Uncle Jesse.

One of the best dads ever on TV.

I wish certain demographics had more father figures like James Evans Sr.

Besides the fact he was a fictional character, ALL demographics need that type of father figure.

Good point
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
