Pops was a great friend. Ema and I will miss him greatly. He always welcomed us into his home as if we were family. What fond memories we have of parking our RV in Pop's and Nana's driveway for up to a month at a time, playing poker, eating Nana's delicious cooking, hanging out on the patio, it was always so much fun. So long big guy, love you and see you one day. David and Ema Kester
