Praying for Pookie's kids and the rest of our family. Spent my childhood growing up and like most families on Bayou Blue, although we were cousins felt more like brothers. Great memories of holidays, hunting, fishing, camping, and playing football in the lot.

Words cannot express how I feel right now. I know all of us probably feel the same way. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.
