AUSTIN, Texas —
The Texas Legislature has honored actor Sherman Hemsley, the man best known for playing the role of George Jefferson on The Jeffersons.
El Paso Rep. Joe Pickett offered a memorial resolution on Wednesday for a man he called a friend and a constituent.
Hemsley spent the final years of his life in El Paso and residents frequently saw him walking and in a neighborhood grocery store. He died of lung cancer in July. But after his death, a dispute over his estate delayed his burial.
In November he received full military honors and was buried in El Paso.
Pickett said he wanted to "bring attention to a sweet, sweet man that we will all miss."
