I loved my Uncle Poochie dearly! He had the best laugh!! Some of my favorite memories are of him picking me up for Church and Sunday school when he drove the bus for Gloster Baptist Church. I loved going to his house and seeing the horses. He was always there for our family and he will be missed by so many!! Darlene Sweatt
