Posted On: Wednesday, May. 6 2009 @ 7:45PMDear Poodie,
You have had such a great influence on so many thousands of musicians across the United States. You have helped inspire and build so many careers. You always gave and never asked for anything. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.
Posted On: Wednesday, May. 6 2009 @ 8:06PMI'll miss you, Poodie. I'll cherish the past 25 years
of fun times, arguments, good jokes, (& bad), and the occasional big brother fussing you'd give me.
Rest in peace.
Love you...katie

From the days on the block when we were kids playing sandlot football in David Earl's backyard, to the last New Year's Party, you always remained loyal to your old friends and true to yourself, Poodie. You will certainly be missed old friend. You were truly one of a kind.My prayers and blessings go out to you Gloria and Cindy.

You meant a lot to a lot of people and we will all miss you for a long long time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Momma Locke, Shaye and everyone. It won't be the same watching the Longhorns & Cowboys down at the Top. I'll remember all the great times with Poodie and winning the 9 hole tournament with him when we didn't think we had a chance! A true Texas legend who touched countless lives is gone. Rest in peace Poodie and god bless you.

I wrote this song in memory of Poodie:
That Very Sad Sixth Day Of May (At Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse)
I'd hitchhiked to Poodie's to play
For a fun Wednesday night open mic
At Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse on the sixth day of May
Was where I'd heard the news that he'd died
That was such a very sad time
With the look in Brooks' eyes which were glazed
I think that he'd wanted to cry
A quiet moment of remembrance we paid
CHORUS:
On that very sad sixth day of May
A quiet moment of remembrance we paid
At the place where there's no bad days
On that very sad sixth day of May
Bridge:
At the place where there's no bad days
Nobody knew exactly what to say
Me, I just hitchhiked away
On that very sad sixth day of May
CHORUS

Poodie; I will really miss you!
You were always so nice to me as you were to everyone.
Ever since meeting you in 1983 on my first feature Songwriter your friendship and support were always there.
Not very many like you !
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and the extended family of Willie.
Very Sincerely, Van Redin
My heartfelt condolences to the relatives,friends and The Family.I had the pleasure of Poodie’s friendship for over 35 years, he will be missed by all. A true legend in his own time. I remember being on the Red Headed Stranger Tour in 1975 where Poodie put BBQ on the rider as the crew meal, well after 45 days of BBQ in a row, Poodie always kept his life long smile on. I hope there mucho BBQ & music in Heaven for you Poodie!
Posted On: Thursday, May. 7 2009 @ 2:30PMPoodie, we love you and miss you, our hearts are broken and we don't know how to live in a world without you. Thank you for your love and your friendship for the past 30+ years.
Thank you for all the wonderful times and memories we shared. Thank you for making us all feel special.
Mama Locke, Cindy Lou, Dillon and Shaye, you are in our prayers and hearts forever.
One of life's GIANTS has gone and the world is a worse place because of it. Thanks for that night in Cardiff, Poodie,take it easy now!
Oh yeah! Rachel Fowler..nothing changes with you does it ?

Posted On: Thursday, May. 7 2009 @ 4:28PMSorry for the mistake about the date of the funeral of my uncle. I'll be sure to get my facts straight next time.
RIP-Uncle Poodie
Miss Gloria, Cindy, Shay, Ashley, Dillon and the Willie Nelson family, our hearts are with all of you during this tragic time.
Miss Gloria, you should be so proud just knowing how many lives Poodie has touched.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with each of you.
We love ya'll!

My Thoughts and Prayers are with the Family. When thinking about Poodie, so many thoughts come to mind that bring a smile (and often an out loud chuckle) to my face in these saddest of times. Things like "Welcome to Bangkok, Pookie". He left a Legacy on this earth and in the hearts of so many. I will miss you, greatly. You were dear to me & I Love you, Baby Boy.
P.S. Poodie, hug the neck of Hoss Boss for me.
Love To All The Family,

This was in a Nashville blog....
If you have ever been to a Willie Nelson concert ,you would have seen Poodie....he was Willie's Stage-Production Mgr...One hell of a great Guy...hell...he was several great guys rolled into one big cantankerous Teddy Bear....he passed on yesterday and I had a dream of him last night...I saw him as he approached the golden gates ..and there was St.Peter waiting for him with a golden tablet and pen in his hands....he welcomed him to heaven and handed him the golden tablet and pen...and he said to Poodie........"Can you get Willie to sign this ."?

Heartfelt condolences go out to Poodies family and friends.All the times I ran into him he always had a smile and warm greeting. To be sure his job was not easy but his love of people and music seemed to make it look easy.As with all the Willie clan he connected with the locals and was a gracious Texas ambassador.
Posted On: Saturday, May. 9 2009 @ 12:31PMWhat fond memories & laughs he gave us all. He shared his life with all of us when he could. He was always "Poodie" & we were always Goundhog & Bird. We will so miss that onry laugh!Thank you for sharing so much with us!
God watch over you!
You will be so missed!
Love you Poodie!

Hello All,
First of all I would just like to thank everyone for all their thoughts, all their prayers, and just letting me know that I am so blessed to have so many people who really care about me. It is certainly not overlooked and very appreciated.
I also want everyone to know that he meant the world to me! Words cant explain! He taught me so many things, he made me feel so special, and most importantly we loved each other! Not a day went by that he didnt tell me how beautiful I was how special I was and how proud of me he was. He was my number one fan! And I was his the first day we met! My world will never be the same! I will miss him so so much! Rest in Peace Mr.Frog! Until we meet again! Oh and we will meet again!!!!! I love you Poodie! And I can still hear you telling me "I love you so much Mrs.Frog! (Mrs.Frog and Barney Frog miss you and love you!)

Thank you for being a wonderful friend. I went to Texas and attended your tribute--absolutely amazing. You touched a lot of people. Missing you already.

Posted On: Tuesday, Jun. 30 2009 @ 1:44AMI must have had my head in the sand and am so sad to hear of Poodie's passing (2 months later).
I can't say anything more than others have posted - Poodie was a very special person - warm, friendly, and dedicated to Willie & Family. I knew him off & on from about 1976-86. He ran the stage like nobody's business ! But he did it with a certain grace & charm.
He embodied the word "Texan". He was simply the best.
Thanks for the memories Poodie !
Posted On: Wednesday, Jul. 15 2009 @ 11:27AMPoodro- What can i say my friend other than- "Spread the fuck out big boy- Me and Jules will see you on the otherside". In the words of Jamey Johnson-"Our new life begins with death, lead me home". Poodro, Jesus went to prepare a place for those who believed in him and I know you did. We don't have to be perfect to be loved and protected and forgiven by his unbounding grace. Me and Jules miss you so much already. Shaye-gro, please call us we luv you and miss you. So sorry our life has been turned upside down and we couldn't make it to be there for his memorial, funeral and to support you and mama and the rest of the family. Please call julesshe misses you greatly. Much love sweetheart and much love to our dear friend Poodro.
