Pop pop, you inspired, amused, and taught your whole life. You changed the world, one story at a time. All who knew you were lucky, but your family was the luckiest of all. You and Gram showed the world that true and deep love is still alive and that is rooted in the utmost respect and complimentary fashion. I love and will miss you dearly everyday for all my life.
