Bernie Mac was pronounced dead in a Chicago hospital this morning. He was 50 years old. Bernie’s death was caused by a case of pneumonia Mac had been battling all this week at a Chicago area hospital. The cause of death was unrelatd to Mac’s previously diagnosed chronic tissue inflammation, called sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005.

I need not list his many achievements. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his family. Bernie Mac will be missed.
