I didn’t know Poppy long, but he was a man to make an immediate and lasting impression. He entertained with songs, was fun to play games with, and loved kisses. I’ve never known a kinder man. It was truly an honor to know him. Until we meet again…

We always enjoyed being with Poppy. We will remember him tending to his beautiful flower garden and sitting on his chair outside enjoying the beautiful South Carolina sunny skies. We will miss him.

I will always remember you, Poppy, for your gentle conversation and wit. I will think of you every time my white lilac bush blooms. You were a devout Christian who was a wonderful example to everyone you met.
God Speed Dear Poppy.
Love Debbie

Mr. Dirk was such a delight. Always said good morning every morning when I saw him. I loved to sit and listen to him sing in his room and loved to watch him rally everyone together to sing hymns on Sunday mornings. He was always full of wonderful stories and such an artist. Two of my most prized possessions hang on the wall of my office by Mr. Dirk. My "Dutch Lady in Wooden Shoes" and "Lucy the Bird".

It was an honor and priviledge to get to know "Pops" over the last few weeks. He was an inspiration to all. I LOVED listening to his stories of his youth and challenges as he brought his family to America. Corrie, your great love and care of your father was evident in all you did. Hugs and Love my friend, Diann and Jim

Dirk was one of the gentlest and funniest people I have ever known. One of his favorite things to do was play Bingo. He would randomly call out "Bingo" just to get the other residents to laugh. He was also a wonderful artist. I have a beautiful picture of a cat he painted in my office.
He will be so missed! Mr. Dirk, I can't wait until we meet again. You and Cory are in my heart.

Mr. Dirk lit up a room with his smile and his laughter. He was always kind and a gentleman. He loved singing praises to the Lord and growing beautiful flowers. He was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. The world is a little less brighter without Mr. Dirk but we shall meet again one day!

Cornelia and family,
I didn’t know your dad personally but the pictures I saw when he was at the Memory Care made me feel like I knew him. He was loved by so many. I’m sure he was the “light” of the party. May God bless you and your family.
With love,
Paulette Carbaugh
