Poppy was unique, I have never met anyone like him and I loved him dearly.My motto for life is Be the best you can be for long as you, can,that was' Poppy.'He will be greatly missed but he is where he wanted to be heaven.Rest in Jesus arms you dear,sweet soul.
I will miss this special person. When I was 17 or so working on my car at Melvin Pierce’s Body Shop, Mr Pierce would be there chatting with Dad aka ‘Bucky’ as Dad and I did the body work together. Through the years I enjoyed when our paths crossed whether it be powwows or at the Native meetings, he’d always have a smile or a friendly word to share. He brought to back memories for me of my father and how special Dad was to me. Because he knew Dad, Mr. Pierce was my connection to those memories of Dad. Now I will miss both.
The memory of his smile and his harmonica playing will continue to bless us. He was a true tribal elder and man of faith.

Whenever I saw Herb, he was always smiling - such an encouragement to all he met. He never complained, was always upbeat. What a loving soul he was and now heaven has another angel. I will see you again, some day, friend.
