Phil Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 John Witherspoon, an actor-comedian who for decades made audiences laugh in TV shows and films, including the Friday feature franchise and the WB?s The Wayans Bros. , died suddenly at his home today. He was 77. ?It is with deepest sorrow that we can confirm our beloved husband and father, John Witherspoon, one of the hardest working men in show business, died today at his home in Sherman Oaks at the age of 77,? Witherspoon?s family said in a statement to Deadline. ?He is survived by his wife Angela, and his sons JD, Alexander, and a large family. We are all in shock, please give us a minute for a moment in privacy and we will celebrate his life and his work together. John used to say ?I?m no big deal?, but he was huge deal to us.? https://deadline.com/2019/10/john-witherspoon-dead-obituary-comedian-friday-star-77-1202772258/ -- Bang bang bang! RIP Pops.
