Percy, who is affectionately known as June or Poppy was loved by many. Over the years of June’s life, one thing was constant, his dedication to his family. After leaving employment with the repair shops, he branched off and began working for himself to support his family. He was considered “the neighborhood mechanic”. June, the neighborhood mechanic, felt peace in his heart by bringing smile to his neighbor’s faces as he repaired their cars. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and give sound advice when needed. No matter what type of issue you came to him with, he always had encouraging words that would uplift your spirit. From the Family: June, as God call you to do his work, we will always reflect back on the memory that you left to us to cherish on earth. It is not for us to understand why God called you, it is for us to appreciate the time we had with you on earth. June will be sorely missed by many and hope you will rest in peace.
