David, Donnie, Derrick, and Mrs. Gatch and family.
I remember each of you from the good old days. Mr. Gatch was so supportive of us when we played little league baseball and of course we patronized their florist for many years. I will be unable to visit with you due to illness, but you are in my prayers.

How blessed we have been to be an extended part of the "Gatch" family through the years we have enjoyed many family gatherings with "Pawpooh" his humor, wit and stories of life and especially his love for his family and his Lord. He will be missed by all who loved him and knew him .It's good to know he's waiting on the other side.

Though I was never privileged to meet Mr. Gatch, I knew sons David and Derrick during our childhoods in east Savannah. Especially David, because we graduated together from SHS in the Class of '62. What a great family they are, and what a valiant soldier Mr. G was during his service in WWII. Best wishes to you all!
