I will always remember Pop-pop. HE was the best grandpa I ever had. I am sad that he died and I will never forget all of the fun stuff that we did together. Some of the things that I will never forget is When we went in the pool together and he used to let us stand on his shoulders and let us jump off. He also would start a train with tubes and we would always go around the pool. I also remember when he taught me how to build a birdhouse. Another thing I will always remember is that he took me down the back road in the old jeep. Pop-pop was so fun to be around. He always had something fun to do, From coloring a picture to swimming in the pool, to taking bike rides and walks down the back road. I will always miss Pop-pop and all of the fun things we did together.
