Kathy, James, its been years since we grew up in Bloomington, but those memories are dear to me. Kathy, I could never jump on the pogo stick the way we did, James always called me “smelly shelley” when we were young,lol, remember. I remember your parents well and they were really sweet people. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay in touch and let me know how you are 361-645-8422 home. God Bless, Shelley

Tommy Ponder and family
I have known Ira about as long as I have been in Richland. It has been a pleasure being his barber for quite a few years. He also kept me up to date on what was going on in the Hills Mobil Home Park after I moved out of there. My best to the family during this time.

Sorry for your loss will be praying for family
Buddy, Kathy and family, our hearts will always
remember the times spent with Ira. We enjoyed having
him in our home when he visited Texas.
He seldom expressed himself, but when he did we knew
he was sincere in what he said. After enjoying a meal
Ira never forgot to say thank you and always showed
gratefulness.
He always seemed to show a genuine love for his family
and for life. He was non-critical of others even when
he may have had ample opportunity.
We will miss him greatly and we look forward to the
time we feel we will see him again in heaven. Thanks
to God for having a brother like Ira.
Our love and prayers, Tommy and Maryolyn
Papa was such a cute little man. He had such a good sense of humor. He enjoyed his great grandkids so much.He will be missed by all of them and by all who knew him. May he rest in peace with Granny.
Our deepesr sympathy,
