    RIP Sidney Poitier

    RIP Mr. Tibbs

    My favorite line from one of my favorite movies, what a great actor.

    To Sir With Love.

    You were a Defiant One, A Raisin In The Son.
    Good-bye Mr. Tibbs. You will be missed always, not just In The Heat Of The Night. You could have come to dinner at my house, any time.

    What a master. RIP!
