Not many people get the opportunity to write part of their own obituary. I was raised by the great people of Lonoke and a hard working loving mother. I feel I was the luckiest guy in the world by going to work in the Automotive manufacturing world. I was able to move up the ladder with a lot of hard work. Again, I want to thank all of my Lonoke friends and in particular Ms. McCrary and Ms. Ramsey. I would like to thank God for letting me have the opportunities that I had. As I have always said, “you win some, you lose some, some get rained out and some you shouldn’t have scheduled at all.” God bless the children; they are really all that matter. Poppy.

Interment was held May 14 at Brownsville Cemetery, Lonoke. Arrangements by Boyd Funeral Home, Lonoke. ww.boydfuneralhome.net.
