My Uncle Bobby Passed Away this Weekend
July 10, 2018 at 1:19 pm (This post was last modified: July 10, 2018 at 1:29 pm by Rhondazvous.)
My father's brother made his transition this weekend. We won't have a funeral, but as his wife calls it, a Celebration of His Home coming

Robert Eugene Poindexter was a legendary writer/producer of such classics as Thin Line Between Love and Hat (the song, not the movie) and Hypnotized. He and his brother Richard also wrote and produced songs for people like John Legend, The Chi Lites, Amy Winehouse, et al. to his credit, Uncle Bobby has 14 gold and platinum records.


Did I also mention he's my uncle? When I went to visit them in New York, he'd get up early every morning to go to the store and buy breakfast for me when no one else in the house was thinking about breakfast. That's my uncle.






The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

So sorry for your loss, Rhondazvous. 🙁 Sounds like he had a pretty exciting life!

I saw your post mentioning him before. My condolences Rhonda. At least he has someone that remembers him. It is never easy.

In New York. They live in Jamaica, Queens NY. Best of all, he wasn't a very religious cat, so they not going to have organ music and scripture bull crap reading and whatnot. It will be totally secular.
