Pop, as he was affectionately known, was a family man first and foremost.  He loved hanging out with family and friends. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and barbequing. He was a precision machinist and equipment designer for Southern Screw Machine Products in Jacksonville and Remington Arms Company in Lonoke.  He could design, fabricate, build, and fix just about anything mechanical.  He was always in a good mood and made everyone around him happy.  His motto was, “If you’re doing something, you might as well have fun doing it.”  He was very quick-witted, smart, and sharp as a tack.  He had and endless array of jokes and a song for any given situation.  He never met a stranger and would help anyone out in a moments notice.  He was kind, caring and giving.  He loved life and had many friends.  He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Memorial service will be at 3:00PM Friday, September 3, 2021 at Smith-Sherwood Funeral Home (7700 Hwy 107) with visitation one hour prior to the service.

The family requests that you come dressed in bright, casual attire.
