God bless you, family of Mr. Jerald.  Dad would be very proud of you.

Sincerely,

Jerald Dean Roper was born March 29, 1923 in Willow OK. Parents were Clarence Pond Roper and Stella McAdoo. 

He served I'm the Army in WW2. He relocated from his birthplace of Willow Ok to San Diego Ca. He worked in the defense industry. After retiring, he moved to his ancestral home of Arkansas. 

Dean told a story of his youth, when he was a bootlegger. He and his buddy would deliver cream to Texas and back to Oklahoma. In the bottom of the cream barrels they would store the booze. Once, when a police officer stopped them, they purposely put the most sour cream barrel in the front of the truck bed. When the officer went to look, the top blew off the barrel showering the officer with sour cream (in his hair, uniform, everywhere!!) The officer was do angry, he could have killed them both, but he was so slimy & stinky, he had to go home to clean up - and Dean & his buddy were free to go!

God bless you Uncle Dean!  You will always be my favorite uncle & look forward to catching up with you on the other side. Give a great big hug & kiss to Aunt Florence for me also!  Love you both!
