What a great man that I was lucky to have known. He gave to everyone he knew and even to those he didn’t. If people could be half as good as Pops was, the world would be a better place. We love and miss you more than you will ever know. Fly high Pops
Love you

He was a very nice person. His children and grandchildren were his life. My prayers for all the family. Love all.
Marvin (Tootie) was a kind and generous father and grandfather. He always had something positive to say and tried to keep the conversation light. I always saw him with a smile. I am sure my Tom will greet him when he gets to heaven. Wayne, I know you will miss your dad but he is at peace and in a much better place. I’m praying for you and family. Luv you…miss Jean
