I am fortuante to have had Mr. Pope as my coach, my RA instructor and family friend. I have many fun memories of days and nights spent at the Pope's...and in the garden season, those straw berries were always a bonus. Mr. Pope gave freely of his time to help shape us rowdy boys and will be missed, but kept alive in our memories.

I will always have fond memories of playing at Mr. & Mrs. Pope's house. Hearing him ask us about the parties me and my sister had at our house. Living next door to him for about 20 years was a great experience. Your family will be in my prayers.
