    This is what young black men need, a positive male role model. I guess God needed his angel.

      miah de AMEN, THAT WAS TRUTH, YOUNG BOYS CAN ONLY LEARN HOW TO BE A MAN WHEN THEY SEE A REAL MAN!!! not the false street definition of a man, you know the so called titled "REAL NIGGA"

    "We are born to be about our father's business " it's great to see folks who the entertainment industry didn't taint . It's truly a great thing to see, I'm thinking it obviously has a lot to do with who you surround yourself with but also note importantly I believe the ones who stayed strong while working in the Industry must have had a relationship with the Lord before and the Lord kept them protected with a strong mind , a good head on their shoulders . And that's something that seems to be sincere after hearing this man speak . It seemed that this brother Tommy was being about the Lord's business and raising up some younger men and providing them with encouragement and the word of God . And that in my opinion is with all sincerity what the younger generation needs above all the word of God and an encouraging brother that is a man of God to show them how a godly man lives in this secular world

    As a white kid watching his shows back in middle school it wasn't rare for other whites that watched MARTIN. The 90's taught that it didn't matter what color you were it's about being a good person that matters. With actors like Tommy, Martin, Jamie Foxx it taught us to laugh and be good and not take life seriously. Be it the tv show that made Tommy a good person or his good soul spreading into the Martin tv series we will miss him and the other good people as we get older. I lost a lot of friends that were like a brother in motorcycle accidents or ODing from Heroin (fire) and I was in a serious street bike accident and was in a wheelchair and in bed for 7 months and MARTIN got me through the worse times and this was in 2013.............................

    I can tell he was so authentic. I actually met him at a DENNYS is Kendall in 2002 while having breakfast. He kept on seeing me looking at him and on my way out said to me " hey bru, come here for a second, do you keep looking at me because you know who I am? and I said "yeah and then he asked me why I didn't go hound him and I told him I had seen a bunch of people approaching him walking up to the DENNYS and figured he just wanted to have breakfast unbothered. This guy signed a napkin for me and thanked me for respecting his space and apologized for invading my space by asking me me to come over. Who does that? Still have the napkin. Great person by what I know.

    He molded lives and used his celebrity for good.
    He didn't just reach one and teach one.
    He reached many and taught many.
    Through his mentorship he left and outstanding legacy

    Tommy reminds me of my late father in that he loved to work with young people. My father was a teacher for over 30 years in the Gary Indiana Public School System. In his spare time he was always doing something to enrich the lives of the young men that he mentored. He didn’t have to do it but he knew the circumstances that a lot of them faced on a daily basis.

    Had the privilege of meeting mr ford in 1999 when he stayed in a room at a Casio I worked at in vegas. His character on martin was separated from his real life, off the show he was a humbled GOD fearing humanitarian. as you see in this video he sustained that honored gift GOD gave us all to use. let's wake up people, life is short. RIP MR FORD. He always had a job and he upheld it.

    It's funny how TV people and real life people are 2 separate people.
    For example: I see TV Tommy as somebody as always getting suckered into dumb things by Martin, and yet, the real life Tommy, is seen as far more serious about life, far more concerned about his community than I could ever imagine.
