Donald Ray Pope Jr.

Don and I went to school together, we were in the marching band together, I played drums. Also lost our band director Tavis McCown this year and another drummer Randy Reinhard. Don is a great guy and a good friend, we had lots of fun in the band and he will be greatly missed. God bless you, Don, Raul

Shirley -- I'm very to hear of the passing of your husband. My thought & prayers are with you.

I just learned this morning of Don's passing, from your good friend, N.J. I know you must still be reeling. I feel for you. He was such a pleasant, engaging man. The last time I saw him, I put my hand out to shake his, and he just leaned in and gave me a wonderful hug. I know you will miss your handsome man, for the rest of your days. You called him Donny always. I refer to him as Don, only because that is how he introduced himself to some folks he did not know. Either way; certainly a terrific guy. I hope the support of family and friends will give you some sense of comfort. Tears are cleansing...

Don & I were in the band together, he was a great guy & a good frien. I am saddened to hear of his passing & I pray for his spirit & his family. God bless you Don.

Donny will be missed by us all. Please know that we are thinking of you, Shirley, and all of his family during this most difficult time,

Kathy, Patty and John,
I was so very sorry to hear that Donny passed away. I remember your mom letting me hold him when he was only four months and I only twelve years old. I was also saddened to hear that Barbara had also passed away. I had no idea. She babysat for my Marcy and Matthew more than forty years ago.
My sister Mary coincidentally passed away too last Saturday morning in Philadelphia. She loved your mother and had fond memories of her and Blanche playing together as kids.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Your second cousin,
Magda Gilland Chellet (formerly McChesney)

Sending my sincere condolences for your huge loss. I have many fond memories of Donald from our high school years. We had many classes. Sending prayers for your loss.

My condolences to the family. He was loved by all his class mates of 1971!!

I am glad to have know and worked with you. You have been in my prayers.

Kathy, Patty, and family... Don was a very kind soul and gentle person. He was always looking for ways to help. I will never forget how much he made me feel welcomed in your wonderful family. May his soul rest in peace. I hope you all cope with this tragic loss with inner strength and love and support from your family and friends.

I'm so saddened to hear of Donny's passing! We grew up just a few blocks apart and would sometimes walk to school together. We had many classes together and laughed and shared silly stories all the time, then recalled those same silly stories when we'd run into each other. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers and may you all find strength and comfort in the days to come.

Patty.. so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. May you feel surrounded with love and peace.

John, praying for you and your family during this time.

Sending our love and prayers to yall. May yall find comfort in all the beautiful and loving memories yall shared.
