Bartt, so very sorry to see this. Pookie was one of the finest people I have ever known. He was always the gentlemen and such fun to be around. I have so many fond memories of him from the clerks office. My thoughts and prayers for you and your entire family. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of having known him. God Bless.
