Like Losing Family: 10 TV Parents Who Made An Impact And Passed Away In Real Life
- By

George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley)
Unlike his wife, George wasn’t levelheaded on “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons.” He was hotheaded, opinionated and rude. He represented the parent we learned a lot from, but learned to NOT be exactly like. His son, Lionel, was opinionated, but he used his patience and tolerance a lot more when dealing with the likes of people like Archie Bunker (Caroll O’Connor). Hemsley passed away from cancer in 2012.
