My fondest story of Grandpop is never-ending. I enjoyed dropping and picking him up from daycare and he would sing. I would sit with him all hours of the days at nights. Especially the last 2 weeks. I remember when I was little I would hold his hands and crawl up his legs and flip. Grandpop was the ultimate Grandfather in the world. Climb the steps to Heaven and join Grand mom and my Dad. I love and miss you!!!
