John Franklin Poole, 81, of Maryville, passed away in his home surrounded by all the kids he loved so dearly. He was a dad, papaw, great papaw and great great papaw, but his role was that of “Dad” to everyone. He worked his entire life using his hands that were strong enough to carry our entire family. He enjoyed fishing, being outdoors but his prized passion were his grandkids and their babies. Even on his worst days, their voice would widen his eyes and make his days better. He was our world, our everything, and will be missed dearly, by everyone that knew him. Proceeded in death but now rejoicing with his wife of 48 years, Charlotte Ann Poole. Survived by his daughter, Sonya Roberts, granddaughters, Chasidy Poole and Brandi Wilson (Daniel Miller), Great grandchildren, India Lawson, Isaac and Hannah Loveday, Griffin Wilson, Spanky Loveday, and Macy Herman. Great Great grandsons, Sawyer and Lyle Loveday. He was an angel on earth and now is our angel in heaven.
