I texted about you today, and pictures of you still bring tears to my eyes. Talking about all the cars specifically the Superbird. Every time I think this emptiness is gone, it is still there. I love you Pop!

I was thinking of you today. Another year gone, you would be 100. Wow, I always tell folks to hug their parents cause when they are gone, you just can't do that anymore. Love you, Rocky

I am so sorry for your loss. I still can not call him Elmer, he was always Mr. Dunkman. I have such fond memories of him from growing up on Delray. He was a good man.

The loss of anyone we love is a hurt that never truly goes away, but to lose a parent is something quite different. They are what come between us and that threshold we all evenutally have to cross. It's a lonelier place without them. Pop was a good and life-filled man and his presence in this world will be missed. My heart and prayers are with you all.

Pops,
It was a joy to know you. You will be missed. Your legacy will live on in Rocky and his family. We know some of your best times were spent with them.

It's hard to know just what to say
When someone close just passed away
So we'll keep it simple in thoughts of you
As we reflect on memories too
A tall white haired man we all called "Pop"
Who support to his family never stop
So we pray that you are now in a happy place
Looking down on us with a smile on your face
Mr. Dunkman you will be missed
From your family & friends at CC&M, Inc.
