Poolum as we all refered to him growing up in Kosciusko will be missed. Many good memories with him and his family. I am younger but all the times his mother would call from her back door "Jean I need you to go grocery store". I can see him hanging out with my oldest brother's Eddie. Great memories. Praying for strength for his wife and children
