My cousins and I called my grandfather "Pappy Daddy" until we were
older. Then he became Pap. I am told by my aunt Carolyn that he chose
to be called "Pappy Daddy" after the comicstrip character Popeye's
father "Poopdeck Pappy" because he didn't want to be called grandpa or
granddaddy.
He was a man of great character. He worked as a railroad engineer all
of his life and could not have had much money, especially raising
eight kids. Nevertheless, he and his family would take Christmas
gifts to the Orphanage every Christmas, and he would give good
donations to Father Flanagan's Home for Boys every year until the day
he died. I suppose he, and my grandmother, did this because my
grandmother had spent part of her own childhood in an orphanage. After
Pap's death my grandmother received a letter of condolence from Father
Flanagan's Home.
My grandfather was a man of small physical stature who had a very large spirit. Now that I know his heritage, I can understand why. He expressed that
tremendous Welsh intensity through his own character I aways felt safe when he was around .
Leo became ill in 1954. I was devastated. I loved him so much and
wanted him to be present when I graduated from High School so I prayed
night after night for him to live. He lived to witness my graduation from high school in June of 1955. He died 1 December 1955. I still miss him, and have so many wonderful memories about him, after almost fifty years.
When I was a child my grandfather Leo and Grandmother Estelle lived at
968 N. 52nd. St. in Woodlawn, Birmingham, AL.
When Leo died he and Estelle were living in his old family home at 4704 First Avenue in Woodlawn, Birmingham, Jefferson Co., AL. The old house has been torn down to make way for a Freeway. (Source: Martha Cross Mordecai - 2001)
