Poe was my neighbor for 12 years. I could always depend on him to have just the right tool when I didn’t, and he was happy to lend it. He was always willing to share his wisdom with me too; his ideas on the best way to do something or what product was better. And sometimes, when I really needed it, he’d just listen. Yes, he was my neighbor, but more than that, he was my friend.
It makes me sad to know that I’ll never again hear the roar of his Mustang as he warmed up the tires.
He leaves a big hole in this Park with his passing. I will miss him.

We were so sorry to hear of Poe’s illness and passing. We spent many enjoyable hours at the lake with him, Smokey and the pups chatting and sharing stories. He was a character and will be missed by all who knew him. We both send heartfelt condolences to the family.

Poe will be missed at Calmor Cove, he was a friend to everyone Poe loved and took pride in his garden and shared many of his plants. I am going to miss our Sunday morning talks on the way to church and back. Will think of Poe every time I have a Chai Tea. Missing the long tall Texan.

Poe was a good neighbour. We would often talk about church. We would hear his mustang leave on Saturdays for his men’s group and Sunday for church. He was one of a kind. So glad that he loved the Lord and lives with him now.
