We'll forever miss you "Pop". I'm very honored to have been welcomed into your family and to have had the opportunity to treasure all the moments we shared. I'll never forget your easy going laid back attitude, the long talks we had about your childhood while Drew was at work and the great advice you offered. I won’t forget Drew stocking up on Turkey Hill Lemonade when you came to visit or you teaching me how to make your famous "Chicken and Dumplings" from scratch just like your mom taught you. We'll forever keep your memory alive; We love you and miss you. Please tell Keira we love her dearly.
