George "Rex" Smith

Rex (Popoo) will always be remembered for his love of reading. A constant visitor to the local library in search of the latest western books.

He loved Monday Night Raw, Friday Night Smackdown, & the Powerball. Daily you would see him "Driving Miss Daisy" his wife Sonia to and from the courthouse where they worked as title examiners together after he retired from construction work.

Popoo was always willing to lend his carpentry skills to the family, expecting nothing in return and all while singing one of his old timey country songs to the grandkids.

We all learned to Texas Two-Step from the finest - Popoo
