R.I.P. Charles Pope

Sandra Rose July 11, 2013

Charles Pope, the founder and only original member of The Tams, passed away at his home in Atlanta today. Mr. Pope was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 76 years old.

Mr. Pope is survived by his wife Dianne Pope; and his children, former Xscape singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris, Albert “Little Redd” Cottle, and Michelle Pope.

Mr. Pope was a legendary musician and a loving husband and father. He will be missed. My family and I send our condolences to the Pope family.

Funeral arrangements have been set.

Charles and Diane came into my store and was shopping for the grandkids some years ago,. Very nice people. Ms.diane is very warming and loving and Mr.pope didnt say anything just smiled. Had his suite on too! Sorry to hear of this loss,… Very nice family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Tiny, her mother, siblings and family. I lost my Grandmother to Alzheimer’s (my Dad’s mother) and my Aunt (my Dad’s oldest sister) is living with it now. My Dad was even in the beginning stages when he passed. This disease is very tough on families and caretakers. Ms. Dianne is such a strong and loving wife. She and Mr. Charles are the epitome of their vows “till death do us part”. When you love, you are there until the end.

I JUST realized the last names don’t match. Sandra do you know if Tameka and Redd used their Mother’s maiden name as a stage name? Where did the Cottle come from? Anywhoo send the family our condolences Sandra! Alzeheimers is a helluva disease

Hi Sandra, Tiny has a fake facebook page that i dont know how keep posting as she Tameka. This is the same fake page that said her dad had passed away before and didn’t. Tiny official Facebook page can be found on her verified twitter accout. Tiny is more active on instagram more than anything. From what i was told Zonnique is on tour and dont know. I hope this person respect their family privacy. Thank you for posting the real news and giving us updates. Condolences to the Cottle-Pope family.

Good Morning. I loved to see the interaction with Tiny and her dad. May he rest in peace. In all my 40 years I have never called a man daddy or dad. Yes I knew my father but I never felt comfortable calling him daddy. I called him Mr. Jordan. Sounds sad huh but that is the way it was. I admire women who have a strong relationship with their father. When he died when I was 16 I was numb cause I felt relieved but ppl wanted me to be sad. Again rest in peace.

My condolences….I lost my mom to breast cancer at the age of 11. I’m 40 and that void is still there…it’s a deep void too. Losing an active parent is akin to losing a compass in the woods at any age. No one can or will give you that loving foundational wisdom like a parent. My prayers are with her and her family.

I know what you are feeling. Grieve how you want to. It will get better when YOU say it is. Strength is not holding back the tears but the understanding of why you shouldn't and then let them fall. Prayers to you and your family…

Logs off for the day…

Hey @DTTS yes it is me…How are you hun? I don’t get to come on here much. Trying to get my mom into her new senior living facility and working. It looks likes today will be a somber day. My cousin lives in Sanford and she says that it is thick with tension. Black panthers and the NAACP are there heavy.

My Sincere Condolences to Tiny and Family!

You did a great job of caring and celebrating your father!

You brought awareness to alzheimers… and the challenges it presents to a family.

My mother has alzheimers. It is very difficult on the family.

My mom is totally dependent on others to care for her. It hurts a little when she looks at me and I know she does not know who I am.

On a lighter note… she knows my children! That makes me happy!
