Mr. Pope! My 5th grade sub! " you´ll find yourself on Euclid avenue! I ain´t had my medication. " that was his line. Bless his family.

Top the Family of Dave Pope,
Please accept my condolences on your loss. May fond memories comfort you; and God help your family during this difficult time. Isa.41:13

I'll miss you, Mr.Pope, your friend n Alabama. May the Lord continue to hold you close.

Reflecting on a fun and loving person: He cared about the students and staff as an educator. There was never a time I didn't see a smile on his face or making someone else laugh. God needed you more, where there is no more pain or suffering but peace. On behalf of my family and I, I would like to send my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. (Smile down on all of us)
-Ronisha (Ro), Ms. Sheila, & Mrs. Carole

Dave, we will miss you,
