Read MoreMy thoughts and prayers are with each family member and friends. I've grown up knowing all of the Pounders... there are many, many memories and smiles with each one..... from school, to playing softball, to waving at him flagging me on the road, to just running into Junior at a convenience store. My love and prayers are sent to each of you.

Susie, kids, and family: I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jr. He was the energy that Caledonia needed to handle any situation. He always met you with that smile and that patented laugh. May God place his Love, and Peace, on you all at this time. I, as the town of Caledonia will certainly miss him. He was a great friend to me.. Sam Darnell

I am so sorry to hear of Jr's passing. Frank always talked so much about him and his family. Their shenanigans as kids! I know he will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Teresa Terrell
