Uncle Pop,

I don't think I ever remember a time all through growing up that I ever saw you get mad; except of course for the WILD Howard family card games when you would rip up the deck!!!! You and Aunt Hattie were always a special part of my life growing up because Tina and I were always running back and forth through our yards to get on each others nerves!!!!! We did have some fun times.....RIP Uncle.

Love, Steph

Dear Members of Warren's Family,
Please accept my, and my children's, deepest sympathy on the recent loss of Popeye. Being my late husband, Richard's first cousin, we spent many happy family times together. There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. Pop is one of those special people, and he is now joining a lot of his loved ones in heaven. God bless you all.
Bea Steere, David and Sharon
