The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a classic sitcom. Who could ever forget when Will’s father showed up only to disappoint him by leaving again? Who was by his side – Uncle Phil! What about the time when Will had ‘speed’ in his locker and sent Carlton to the ER. Uncle Phil remained by his side. Or what about the time Will got hustled at the pool hall…you know it – Uncle Phil got those funds back.
Although a television family, the group had a major bond that pulled us all in. With the passing of James Avery, the family sent out their condolences and now, Will Smith speaks out. (TEAR)! Hit the jump to see what he had to say about the passing of someone near and dear.

Will Smith sent a tribute out to everyone’s favorite uncle, via Facebook:
“Some of my greatest lessons in Acting, Living and being a respectable human being came through James Avery.”
“This photo was the last time we were together,” Will adds. SAD!
