Wallace Poer

POER, WALLACE, affectionately known as PawPaw to most, passed away on March 25, 2010 at the age of 78, after a courageous battle with cancer and diabetes. He was surrounded by four generations of his family. PawPaw was born October 17, 1931 in Fayette County Alabama, and his love of Alabama football is surpassed, only, by his love for his family, and, of course, the beach. He has worked through the years as an independent truck driver, in addition to being employed with Gordon's, and Budget Rent A Car. Paw Paw was a member of Berney Points Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. He has been well loved in his community as a coach, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

He is also survived by four brothers and their families, Lester (Katherine), Cecil, Woodrow (Christine), Douglas (Mary), as well as, a host of nieces, and nephews. Visitation is on Friday, March 26th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Jefferson Memorial in Trussville. The Funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 27th at noon. "...Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Psalm 23 We love you, PawPaw!
