Daphne,
I am so sorry for your loss, I know how much you love your dad. Just remember all the good times and laughs you had with your dad, he's still right there with you. I pray that you find the strength to keep on smiling and that bubbly personality keeps shining. Time will not heal all wounds but it will get a little easier everyday.

LOVE YOU!!!

Melissa, You always have a way with words and I'm glad you were with me alot of times I went up to take him lunch or a smoke and wonderful conversations. I'm honored to have spent so much time with him some days I was so tired but when I left I always felt so good. Poge and I had alot of laughs over the years I hold on to that special time. I was never to busy just to stop in and say hey how r ya doin and he would reply "Fine as frog hairs" It is a big void in my life right now but God has...

Their are so many people with memories so many. Kimmie really said a mouth full. I remember when me and kim caught a fish when we all went camping and the hook when through the mouth and out of the eye we were flipping out and uncle poge just took it out and threw it back. I miss every one. He has taught me alot growing up but also in the past few years. I know that i can do anything because he did, he really hung on there. I want to thank you Mom (Vicky) for being there for him everytime he...

I ONLY GOT TO KNOW POGE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME AT RIDGEWOOD WHILE MINISTERING TO HIS SPIRITUAL NEEDS BUT THAT TIME WAS WELL SPENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS IN THIS GUEST BOOK HELPING ME GET TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BETTER. SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF A WONDERFUL MAN! SISTIE GABEL,...

I was one of the lucky ones who showed up Thursday for the memorial party. Thank you - Poge was a one of a kind, gentle, unique and special person. God bless

My Uncle Pogie was a saint.He touched the lives of everyone he knew. Every kid that knew him became a better person because of him.I remember we went fishing one time and all we caught were little fish.Well, we went to McDonalds afterwards and he took our tiny fish inside and came out with a big bag of fish sandwiches. All us kids were so proud of "our" fish sandwiches that we caught. I think that was the same fishing trip that P.J. ate a worm because he thought Uncle Pogie did. He had the...
