Poppy

Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. We lost are beloved Poppy on Sunday. He was 87 years old. It has been so hard this week. He had gotten so sick and it was sad to watch, but we just weren't ready to let him go. It has been the hardest to watch my Mimi. They were married for 65 years and they had such a great love for eachother and our family. We will miss him so much!

He was born in 1922 so you can imagine how old this picture is:)

He was in the US Air Force...what a stud!

With Mimi.

The principal of Gober High School
