Mr. Harold “Pop” Quick Jr
Mr. Harold “Pop” Quick Jr., 50, entered into rest Monday, June
23, 2003 at Burke Medical Center. Memorial services will be held Saturday,
June 28, at 11 a.m. at DeLoach-Kennedy Funeral Home Chapel, with Chaplain
Jeff Flowers officiating. Friends may call or visit at 110 Red Bud Lane
or one hour prior to the service on Saturday morning.
Pop Quick was the center-piece of a large and extended family, and it is
hard for us to say goodbye to him. Although the last few years had been
hard for him physically, he continued to live life to the fullest. He always
had a warm smile and a kind word for everyone. His life was devoted to taking
care of his family. He was a loving husband, passionate father, a caring
son and a committed brother. For as long as he could, he dedicated himself
to supporting and providing for those closest to him.
In just a few words, Pop was an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan. He enjoyed golfing
and fishing, and he hardly ever missed an Atlanta Braves game. The things
we will most remember about Pop, though can hardly be put into words. Simply
by entering a room, Pop could light up the faces of every person in it.
A humorous phrase or a crooked grin from Pop could lift almost anyone’s
spirit. We are never going to forget the way a warm look from him made us
feel.
Pop’s inner strength has forever influenced his sons, siblings, nieces
and nephews. We will always remember how wonderful the time was, that we
were blessed to spend with him. Pop we are grateful for the memories we
have of you and eternally thankful for the blessing of your life. We will
miss you more than you could have imagined. We love you.
Survivors include his wife, Harriet H. Quick; father, Harold D. Quick Sr.
and Grace C. Quick; sons, Robert Quick and Richard Quick; father-in-law
and mother-in-law, Rhodes Hardeman and Rosa Hardeman; brothers, Harold “Hal”
