Poddy was my cousin and I spent many of my summer vacations with him and his brother. The best word to describe Poddy was "fun". Poddy had one of the greatest outlooks on life of anyone I every met. Everyday was an adventure for Poddy and around every corner was the opportunity for riches. I don't know if Poddy ever found the riches in monetary terms he searched for, but his life certainly gave riches to all who knew him. I will miss you Poddy but I know we will meet up again and you will again make me laugh.##imported-begin##Ron Greene##imported-end##

Gwen, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that Poddy meant the world to you. I know that you are lost without him. I cry a million tears for you, but I know that Poddy would not want you to be sad for him. He is in so much better place than you or I. Remember the song, "if you could see where I am, you wouldn't cry." I am here if you need me and I will be coming home more now and will stay with you. I love you so much, I wish I lived closer to you.##imported-begin##Jacquie Layne##imported-end##

Poddy,

I just wanted to tell you how much I truly enjoyed working with you and sharing all the wonderful stories and friendship. You are a great man and a dear friend. My heart goes out to Gwen and family for your loss. He was truly an amazing man with an unbelievable charisma that helped people open up and just talk about things where as no one else could. He had a way or a joke every time to make you smile and if that didn?t work he would leave you at the font counter with a line of people there while he stocked his cooler that you weren?t allowed to touch : then laugh at you when you were stressed out and ready to yell. Then you would just sit down and here he would come telling you to get off his bucket so it would go round and round again until you couldn?t do anything but laugh which was his goal the whole time. I will miss our quarreling sessions.

I worked with Poddy for about 3 years at Food Fast and truly enjoyed every day spent with him. I used to go in there just to visit him after I left and see what all was new and catch up on some really good gossip. Man he was the keeper of some really good news and information.. It just wont be the same in there with out you. You will be missed my friend. Now dance on the clouds and whisper words on the winds and remember to pop a top and watch some good ol? football and visit us when you can. Watch over us from above while we miss you from below. I will miss you very much Poddy take care my friend!!

Gwen,
I know you probably don?t remember me but I worked with Poddy for a while and having just recently lost my own husband so I can understand what you are going thru and if there is ever anything you need, just ask. I will say a prayer and light a candle for you and your family.
Take care and God Bless!!##imported-begin##Penny Elaine Celley##imported-end##

Gwen,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Poddy's passing. May our Almighty Father in Heaven keep you and your extended family in the palm of His hand, and give you comfort and strength in this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences. I really thought a lot of Poddy. He kept me laughing constantly, a natural comedian with a great personality. I know that he is greatly missed.

God Bless,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Poddy for a while. I actually worked for Shipley's. I will never forget his kind heart, and sarcastic attitude! He brought a smile to my face pretty much every hour on the hour! Gwen I'm so sorry and I hope you are able to find comfort in your time of loss.##imported-begin##Erin##imported-end##
