It was reported today that Mike Evans, better known to TV lovers as “Lionel” from The Jeffersons and All in the Family died last week of throat cancer at the age of 57. Evans also went on to co-create and write for the awesome Good Times with Norman Lear. R.I.P. Lionel!

Your obit makes it seem like Norman Lear co-created "Good Times". In fact "Good Times" was created by Evans and Eric Monte. Eric Monte was a pioneering black TV writer who also wrote the film "Cooley High".
