      It's not as big a deal as a few of you are making it. They hadn't worked together in well over 10 years. If someone I worked with 10 years ago died I wouldn't attend their funeral.

        I read somewhere that he was in Africa when Redd Foxx died and couldn't get back in time for the funeral.

            He was out of the country in Africa at the time of Redd's death, that is why he didn't go to his funeral.

              I'm not going to argue the fact but they were indeed friends.
              He was out of town, granted, but my suspicion is it had to do with his finding "God" in '84 and had second thoughts about John's lifestyle.

                To the idiot who said funerals "are stupid (and expensive)", maybe your loved ones should just toss you into the nearest ditch after you die. Yes, they're costly but what are you gonna do?
                The two of them had probably not seen each other in a long time & it's very possible that Demond had prior obligations

                  I thought about what you said about not attending a co worker's funeral for someone with whom you worked 10 years ago. I have no problem recalling the people from 10 years ago. I might attend some of them, but others; no. We worked together, we were not friends. So, yes, you are correct.

                    rjmgreen, you mean someone on IMDb read a post they initially questioned, thought about it and then posted again that it had made sense and was helpful? Quite unusual! Good for you rjmgreen. I'm duly impressed.

                      According to Demond Wilson - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, He did not attend Foxxs funeral in 1991 because he was in Africa at the time of Redd's death. Both on and off the set, Demond shared a close bond with Foxx, during the show's six season run.

                        He wasn't about to show up and celebrate Redd's life. Redd was a heavy duty drinker and drug user, and Demond found religion later in life. Simply not a great match up.

                          I have had several good friends and even some relatives to die, and I did not go to their funeral. Had nothing to do with hatred. I just don't like funerals. Maybe Demond doesn't like them either.

                              It's not like they were father and son. It was a TV show. A job. A job from many years in the past. If they'd stayed friends(IF they ever were true friends??) throughout the years after the show he, might've attended(maybe not).
                              What you see onscreen is called acting.
