Pops was a very hard-working man. He was definitely one of a kind. He enjoyed deer and coon hunting, fishing, cooking and working in his garden. But most of all, Pops loved to talk to anyone and everyone. He enjoyed cooking his famous deer stew for his family and friends. He fought hard to win the race against cancer, but time ran out. Pops always had a saying, "Boys its time to call the dogs and go to the house". On May 30th 2019 Jesus called Pops home to heaven. He will be missed every day.
