1911 ~ 1990
Today, April 9th, 2010 marks 20 years since the passing of our Grandfather, "Pops." You may be gone but your memory and everything you stood for remains. Those summer vacations to visit you and Gran were some of the best memories a kid could possibly have. You were tops in our book and miss you dearly.

It is nearly impossible for me to memorialize one of the best men to walk this earth but these photos should give you a little glimpse at what our family had the pleasure and honor of being around for quite a few years.
"Well that's good, that's real good."
A favorite saying of his when one of his grandchildren did something he liked

That's good. That's REAL good!
Pops was one of a kind. Glad I got to meet him.
Let's not forget about Gran. Equally cool.
