"Pop" served in the United States Army as a private from 1942 to 1945 in WWII. He loved his country and supported and prayed for every soldier every day until he took his last breath. Although he only had an 8th grade education, he went on to work for Northrop Grumman building aircraft until his retirement. "Pop" was a faithful member of the United Pentecostal Church in Willis. He always loved to play bingo and watch western's and wrestling on TV. He has...and is...loved so much.

Our family gives a special thanks to Lighthouse Hospice, who are proof angels do walk among us, Conroe Healthcare Center Staff, Rev. Jimmy Jones, and pall bearers: Zachary and Caleb Copeland; Jeffrey, Bradley and Leslie Workman; and Joshua Hickland.
