"big poppa" you are what we would say in my language a "mooditj mar" meaning you are a good man. you always greeted me with respect, i felt as tho i knew you. thank you for the love and kindness. my deepest sympathy to the family.

My Main Man, My Brother, My fellow Howard alumni, I'm glad we had the chance to meet and talk and boy did we talk. I think we had to talk like that because you didn't have much time here with us. I even forgot my babe Neicy when we talked and everyone knows that's a impossibility, but we shared so much in that talk. Our lives, our aspirations, our accomplishments and what made each of us tick. You're definitely a brother I'll never forget. God's got a good one that time. Go in peace. LOVE YA

BigPoppa.....It took me a long time to get here to do this....I'm sorry I'm so late hun. Denial is real pain in the heiny... Poppa, you danced your way into our lives...however, ....you waltzed your way out into God's arms..I'll always remember the charm, silliness, good wit, and wisdom you bestowed upon me and Sid. Thank God I met you in person when I had the chance....I'll never forget you... As I sat here reading the guestbook...I thought.."Look how many lives Poppa has...

Though we had just met, you have had a profound effect on my life4. My the blessings of the lord be with your soul throughout eternity. Restbwell my brother.

Babes there are no words to begin to describe the feeling of you passing. I like some others have just lost someone who was dear and near. Thank you for making my days brighter and my heart lighter. I will miss your jokes and your love. Even though we were miles apart in distance we were close in fun and laughter. May you Rest In Peace with God. My prayers are with the family and friends who are left.

It was a pleasure to have crossed paths. Peace my brother.

Unfortunately, I know your grief as my Mother died in my arms on Dec 7th. I figure God needs Angels that make laughs since there is so much disappointment on earth. I am still gonna love it when they call you BIGPOPPA! (SMILING) Brnsugarlady-BP
