Popovich Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Had we known, Christopher and I would have attended to remember Mr. Popovich and paid our respects. Thank you for allowing him to give so much to all the young boys he helped along the way in Scouts, it takes so much time and so much time away from other things. Thank you for being selfless and allowing him to help train these young boys to be respectable young men.We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
