I had great respect and admiration for my Poppa. He was the type of man I always hoped to be one day. He worked hard all his life to take care of his family and loved ones. He was always going to work or just getting off work. He was a great role model for all us kids who grew up spending time with him in Ft. Worth. He always had time to talk with me and try to get me to make the right choices in my life. Poppa will always be loved and remembered by me and my daughter Marcia. Thank you for your presence in my life. Rest in Peace Poppa! May God Bless You Eternally!
