I ALWAYS CALLED HIM POOBY. I GES CAUSE THAT’S WHAT EVERYONE CALLED HIM AT THAT AT THE TIME. WE LOST POOBY ON JAN, 30 TH 2009. WE LOST A FRIEND, A MEMBER OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND A VERY INTELLEGENT MAN. I NEVER KNEW POOBY ON A VERY PERSONAL ASPECT BUT I DID SERVE HIM A LOT OF DRINKS WHEN I WORKED AT THE BRANDING IRON AND ALBERTS. I REMEMBER WHEN HE WOULD COME IN WHEN I OPENED THE BAR. I LOVED VISITING WITH HIM. HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST INTELLEGENT MEN I HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE COULD TELL YOU THE NAME OF ANY SONG IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC. HE COULD NAME ALL THE BONES IN THE HUMAN BODY. I NEVER HEARD THE |
TRUE REASON HE STARTED TO DRINK, I HEARD HE WAS JILTED BY A WOMAN WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. I ALSO HEARD HE HAD A CHANCE TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL BALL. POOBY WAS A HARD WORKER, AND WHEN WAS WORKING HE DIDN'T DRINK. I ALWAYS TOOK HIM A BAG OF CHRISTMAS GOODIES AT CHRISTMAS TIME. HE ALWAYS THANKED ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN ALL THRU THE YEAR. HE KNEW EVERYONE. HE NEVER FORGOT A FACE. HE WOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER WHEN, WHERE AND WHAT THE CIRCUMTANCES WHEN HE MET YOU. MAYBE HE DID DRINK ALITTLE AND MAYBE HE HAD A REPUTATION OF BEING THE TOWN CLOWN BUT HE NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING, HE APPRECIATED EVERYTHING HE HAD AND HE WILL BE MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MAYBE WE ALL COULD LEARN FROM THAT. ENUF SAID, JO
