Beloved Pop Pop
It is hard to say goodbye to someone that has been part of your life for 40 years. The memories are so many... Pop loved all of the children in the family and always had a special treat for everyone. He was a unique man with many good qualities. He will be truly missed by me and my children until we see him again someday in Heaven.
Pop Pop - Now you can Rest
The man whom's favorite sport in his old age seemed to be a good argument. Loved nothing more than his trips to Dutch Way and his cat. After my mom passed I was required to make check calls eiether every other day or daily, to wich sometimes he'd answer "your late". Rest now pop pop you've lived a long life, and now your back with your wife and daughter, your work here is done, and now hopfully we may carry on your good spirt and unself attitude. With all my love. Mindy
