I know we had not talked in a while Pop, but I will always love you and cherish all the good memories I have from growing up. I would have never learned to love Star Trek, Sci-Fi movies, or even Ohio State Football. I have missed you so much...and I will always. No one could have asked for a better grandfather, and I will always be grateful for everything you did for me when Dad passed and more. I think you would be proud of the person I have become ... and that gives me comfort today. Say hi to Dad for me.
Love always,
Erin
