Joe Emil Pouzar Sr.

JOE EMIL POUZAR, SR., departed this life the evening of April 1, 2006 following a two-month struggle with widespread renal cancer. He is survived by his beloved wife Detonne B. Pouzar of Pearland, his son Joe Emil Pouzar, Jr., M.D. and wife Linda C. Pouzar, M.D. and adored granddaughters, Carol Lynette and Kimberly Jo. Joe was preceded in death by his father Emil J. Pouzar, and his brother, Patrick Pouzar. Mourning his loss are his mother, Elsie N. Pouzar of Little Rock, AR; and his sister, Jane P. Terrell of Murfreesboro, AR. Joe Pouzar was born January 2, 1938 and lived most of his early years in Little Rock, Arkansas. He completed his bachelor's degree in civil engineering at the University of Arkansas where he met his wife Detonne. His early professional years with the Corps of Engineers brought him to Houston where he remained an engineer par excellence for the Johnson Space Center for 42 years. In retirement, he offered his expertise in information and business management to assist his son's practice, Clear Lake Family Physicians. He will always be remembered as the most loving, generous husband, father, grandfather, and friend as well as the epitome of selfless, humble servant hood. The family wishes to thank all those who took part in his medical care at St. Joseph Hospital, Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, and at home. We are forever grateful for the outpouring of love from friends and family during this difficult time. Memorial services will be held at 7:00 p.m. at Cokesbury United Methodist Church, 10030 Scarsdale Blvd, Houston, TX, 77089, on Tuesday, April 4, 2006. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Cokesbury United Methodist Church, the American Cancer Society, or the charity of your choice.
