Pops will be missed. He was a very true and knowledgeable friend. Loved to have a drink and hear his old fishing stories. Very much like a true grandpa to me.

May you rest in peace cousin. Our plan is to see you in heaven when we all get together over there some glad and glorious day. God is so good and we cannot thank Him enough for all His great and wonderful blessings that we enjoy daily. We thank Him for sending His dear son to die in our place on
a horrible and cruel cross for our sins and guilt. What a beautiful savior that we will see one day if we
stay faithful to Him and His Word. Praise the Lord!

wow heaven gained a great man! Spent many nights by the pool listening to story's with pops. What a great friend he was. He would never turn anyone away and you was always welcome to pull up a chair and crack a cold one. If you needed advice he always had some. If you just needed a ear he would always listen.. He will be missed by many.
