Leo Powers Although we did not have the privilege of knowing this Mr Powers, we have know his brother, Roy, for many years and can speak very highly of him. I am sure both brothers share the same wonderful personal characteristics. This note of condolences is sent in honor of the family and his brother Roy. Ron, Pat and the entire Miller family members.

Mr. Leo Jackson Powers
You were a man of great wisdom, courage, patience, understanding, commitment and unconditional love. Any time you stated you were going to do something, you made certain that it was done, without hesitation. Those traits are to be commended and hopefully carried on by others whose lives you have touched along your journey in this life. I will be forever grateful for having known you, because you were like a father figure, always offering encouragement and love. I will remember the long talks we had about the Powers family tree. You were my daughter's great grandfather, and your love for people is also noted in the love she has for others. Take your rest, job well done.

Grandpa Jack
You were a man of wisdom
You were a man of courage and love
Grandpa I remember every time I called you would answer on the second ring and we would talk about me graduating from high school and i promised i will be the senior president with honors and i would go off to college and paused and you said "Baby whatever you put your mind to you can do it, also you would ask the how the weather was? Grandaddy you were in my life from the beginning til the end. Grandpa you were a father figure in my life . Grandpa you did all that you could do so God took a wondeful flower into his garden to blossom so I will always cherish you in my heart, soul, and mind. Grandpa Jack aka The Fox, and Grandma Brenda take your rest i love you both.
