    I was in an improv class with leslie in the 80s he is just as he genuine as he comes across. I have such fond memories of our times together at Cantor's deli after class.

      He passed away earlier and they think that it was a medical situation, like maybe a heart attack or stroke. When I was watching him sing his gospel album he said at the end of the song singing about heaven, “ then I will get yo see my daddy.” So I know he’s happy, but boy we sure are gonna miss him and hearing his stories and his voice. This is my favorite hymn he did with the Stapleton’s. czcams.com/video/IE-S_HUxDdY/video.html

      Megan, can't imagine YOUR sorrow after knowing him, no matter how briefly. I'm surprised by MY sorrow. I only discovered him when he was on The Cool Kids. Guess I didn't watch all that he had been on before that. Heartbreaking now to see him. My condolences to YOU.

    I attended a funeral of my girlfriends Omar.
    My 5 year old God Son was staying with me whilst his Mummy was in hospital after having a new bubba.
    Whilst in the church he said can I stand up to see the casket.
    Ten minutes later he was to shout to her 5 best friends ranged from
    78- 86 you will be in a box soon as you are old old old.
    I scooped him up an made a hasty trip out of the church.
    The Archdeacon told me later can I hire him for comic relief during funerals.

    If he was born today, they would have turned this charming, wonderful man into a "girl." We need to stop the madness.
