Pooh was a native and lifelong resident of Sulphur and a graduate of Sulphur High School. He worked as a metal fabricator for Sulphur Sheet Metal for many years. Pooh loved working on hot rods, motors, engines, crawfish boilers, bar-b-que pits and anything stainless steel "forever metal". When he was 4 years old he took a new lawn-mower completely apart and put it back together and it ran perfectly! He would always drop everything to answer the call of 1-800-POOH when needed for family and friends! Pooh enjoyed being around people, especially in his prized man cave where he loved cooking, drinking a cold one and shooting pool with his family (everyone who knew him was considered family)! He will be deeply missed by all of those blessed to have known him.
