I was so sorry to hear about Pop. No words can begin to share all the fond memories I have of Pop and the Argo family. Shooting pool, eating homemade soup, going to Ala. with you , but most of all just being at your house. When my mom and dad both passed away, the Argo's were right there when I needed them. After Mac and I were married, Pop was a special person in his life. I have been out of contact for so many years. Mac passed away in 2002. I'm in San Antonio, Tx. now and my friend in Atl. sent me Pop's obituary. Again, my love and prayers are with you at this time.

We will always remember the Easter Egg hunts at Maw-Maw's (Irene)house in Hammond. We all wanted the POP egg! We are so happy that we got to see you guys last November. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are terribly saddened at Pop's passing. He was one of the finest men we've ever had the privilege of knowing. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.

He was more than just a friend, more like the dad I did not have growing up.

With much love,

Marvin & Janet
