How you can help

On Father's Day 2022 our Father Popeye, AKA Richard Dale Curtiss passed Away. Up until February, Popeye lived alone in his apartment in Pomoma. We moved him into a nursing home where he became a Social bug and was looking for a few girlfriends. According to him, he said looked good and felt like he was only 45. He grew on most of the staff and was known throughout the facility especially for his humor and quick comebacks oh and his refusals to take a shower, he hated being cold. It was almost torture.

The morning of May 20th while at the nursing home Popeye fell and was sent to emergency. Well, he never recovered. It is my hope to try and honor his wishes. Thank you from the bottom of our sadden hearts.
