To a man that I adopted as my father 45 years ago I never had a father so I looked at him as one. I will miss the phone calls to you and hearing you say oh I am doing good I knew better. You will be missed and I know I am being selfish wanting you to still be here but your with the angels where you won't hurt anymore. Rest in peace pops. Your going to be missed and know I always loved you. 1 day we will see each other again .
