Sleep in Peace James Avery

One of televisions most beloved father figures passed away Tuesday. James Avery mostly known for his role as Philip Banks aka Uncle Phil in the 90's classic tv show "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". Avery's publicist, Cynthia Snyder told the Associated Press he went under for open heart surgery Tuesday in Glendale, California. He passed away from complications.
