I missed this news the other day and just found out that Bill Cobbs has passed away at the age of 90. I particularly remember him as Zachary Lamb in Demolition Man as well as Grandpa Booker in the People Under the Stairs, Walker: Texas Ranger, The Bodyguard, Beyond the Law, Night at the Museum, Hard Luck, I still Know What You Did Last Summer and many many more.
His death was announced by family members on Facebook, and confirmed to Deadline by his publicist Chuck I. Jones.
“We are saddened to share the passing of Bill Cobbs,” wrote brother Thomas G. Cobbs. “On Tuesday, June 25, Bill passed away peacefully at his home in California. A beloved partner, big brother, uncle, surrogate parent, godfather and friend, Bill recently and happily celebrated his 90th birthday surrounded by cherished loved ones. As a family we are comforted knowing Bill has found peace and eternal rest with his Heavenly Father. We ask for your prayers and encouragement during this time.”
R.I.P. Sir.
