I have several memories of "Pops" but the ones that stick with me is when we would leave to go home. I would sneak up on him and give him a big hug and he would hollar "eww she's hugging me........" tho secretly I knew he liked it..... also I loved him dearly because of the way he treated my mother Shari... He treated her like a Queen.... and that made me feel so much better knowing he was there with her.
