Pompey L. Stith

Seeing Pompey´s picture reminds me of the respect and friendship I had and still have for a fellow school administrative colleague and a fellow church member. My pal was one of a kind.

My sincere condolences to the Stith Family. My younger son just texted and informed about Pompey's passing because he knew we were good friends when we lived in Hampton. I'm shocked and saddened.

My condolences and love to the Stith family. Pompey's aunt Esther Stith Pride was my childhood caregiver and friend. Actually, she was my de facto mother, and I loved her dearly. I enjoyed hearing her talk about her brother's children -- Pompey, Yvonne, Charlene and Lorraine. I believe they lived next door to her in Rocky Mount, growing up. At Esther's funeral, Lorraine grabbed my hand and took me to sit with the family. I'll never forget that act of kindness, and will cherish it forever.

I was so sorry to learn about Mr. Stith's passing. As a classroom teacher, I had the pleasure and privilege to work with him at Huntington and Gilder sleeve Middle Schools. He was an excellent administrator and cared deeply for his students and staff alike. He always had a smile on his face and was the epitome of a true southern gentleman. I will always remember being greeted with "Hello friend" any time I saw him. Even though he told me many times to call him Pompey, he'll always be Mr....

Rest in Peace Pompey. I will always remember you with kind and happy thoughts. Lots of Love. Your Cousin Rita and Family
