Pope was the last surviving member of soul singing group The Tams and was profiled several times on Tiny and T.I.’s reality show “The Family Hustle.”
His battle with Alzheimer’s motivated T.I. and Tiny to create their For The Love of Our Fathers foundation aimed at funding research for the disease.
T.I.’s late father also suffered from Alzheimer’s.
