of his life on July 31, 1966.
Although Jeep’s occupation was officially Contractor his number one priority and joy was his family. Jeep’s wisdom, strength of character and humor is the greatest legacy he has left
not only his children and grandchildren, but to the many whose lives crossed paths with Jeep Underwood. Jeep was lovingly known as Pop to so many loved ones.

made many friends that became like family in the years spent there.

loved to test drive it’s capacity for speed!
