Damon Floyd Polk, Jr.

I am just learning of Damon's passing. We met in 1966 -- going from Kingsland to Llano to attend school. I had that junky old dodge (1952) and he had that nice corvair. I upgraded cars over the next few years but that corvair was always his. We became close friends until college pulled us in different direction. Rest in Peace Damon -- you have earned it.

I remember the first time I met Damon was when I was delivering meals on wheels . let his little dog out and had to chase it down. He thought it was funny. I never let it happen again. I will miss him.

We'll always miss our kind, weekend neighbor, Damon. The very first time I had the opportunity to meet him was shortly after we came to the neighborhood. After I rang his doorbell, Damon immediately asked me inside to visit him and his little dog. After we exchanged contact information, I invited him to call on me any time, for anything.

The next visit occurred when Damon needed help retrieving his stubborn truck, which then was marooned at Sonic. When Damon kept apologizing...

We worked as partners for many years, the last time we talked which was after Christmas we were discussing some of the things that happened! He always said him and I should write a book! He was truly one of the best friends I ever had! We worked together the entire banking career! One of the last things he said to me was lets stay in touch! Good bye buddy! Such sweet memories,

What a beautiful rememberance of Damon and the life lived! Thanks to God for all of our precious memories together at Republic Bank of Austin! Rest In Peace Damon until we all meet once again!

This neighborhood will not be the same without you, Damon. You will be missed.
