Sad News this evening. “Poor Boy” has left our earth and has made his way to his heavenly reward. Knoxville and Knox County will be left with a void while heaven will be sweeter.

“Poor Boy” was always a pleasure to see at Knoxville City Council and County Commission meetings. If as a Coucilman, Mayor or Commissioner you had done something to cause “Poor Boy” to comment, you knew it.

I enjoyed the conversations that I had with “Poor Boy” in the back of the room. “Poor Boy” Go Rest High on that Mountain. You set the bar very high.
