Instead of giving you a list of adjectives to describe Poppy, I would like to tell you my favorite story about him and let you draw your own conclusions. My favorite memory of Poppy was when we lived in Votaw and Bucky and I were just friends. Bucky had gotten me this really big roster I called him the Sumo wrestler of chickens and I was at home alone one day, I had went out back to take care of all the animals and that roster had hemmed me up and I couldn't get around him. I had my cellphone on me so I called Poppy crying the next thing I knew Poppy was there and took care of it for me. Poppy laughed so hard about that roster punking me like that and how he had to rescue me. Becoming a part of his family was one of the best things to happen in my life, I love you Poppy I hope you and my dad are up there swapping stories.

Poppy was one of the greatest men I know. He always had a way to make you smile. He was a very loving, caring and giving man. If there is anyone on the face of this earth that has earned their spot in heaven it's him. He had a special love for Gran. There was no other boy's (men) any better than Buck and Jeff. He loved his grandkids and his great grandkids with everything in him. He treated me as his own from day one and I am very blessed and honored to have been a part of his life and his family. I love you so much pop and I miss you. I will see you when I get there. ♥️♥️♥️

Some of my favorite memories of Poppy are him listening to gospel music. I found a love for the Whistine Bros. He was always singing and whistling. He couldn't pass by you without pinching your toes and then giggling. He was the most gentle and kind man I've ever known. He had a true love for God, his family and his friends. He never met a stranger. I firmly believe Brit partially got her gift of gab from him. I'll love you always Poppy. You will be greatly missed.
