James McNair is the man who died after a Walmart truck
slammed into a limo-bus carrying him, comedian Tracy Morgan and others on the
New Jersey turnpike last year. James was Tracy's mentor and comedy writing
partner and during his Emmy Awards appearance this past Sunday, Trace failed to
mention his late writing partner on stage, sending his family into a rage.
James McNair's son Jamel wrote in an angry Facebook post that has since been
deleted
"You take the Emmy stage and give a speech and tell
jokes in front of thousands of people. But you don't show up to celebrate the
life of your best friend 'Uncle Jimmy Mack' at his (June 12) Honor, send a
smoke signal, give a call, text, send a damn pigeon."
Mack's sister tells NY
Daily News,
"I understand it's been a great ordeal for Tracy over
the last 15 months. I just feel in some form or fashion, he should have
acknowledged my brother - his mentor - because he lost his life."
"I know there's a healing process, mentally and
emotionally. I'm sure being in that limo and seeing certain things, it was
highly traumatic for him. But just take a minute along the way to acknowledge
my brother. He has children, siblings, a big family all bearing that same
pain."
