Not sure what to say?

It's been almost 2 months since Pops passed away and I am still struggling with the thought that he is gone. He used to call me every morning with his "cheezy" blond jokes. They say "you'll always have your memories of him." And great memories they are!! All of our camping trips. How wonderfully he stood by me when I rolled his camper van down a revine while camping in upstate New York. How supportive he was when I got sick, holding me and telling me everything would be okay when no one...

Random memories of my dad:
o Dad’s descending the stairs after Jim and I fired off the toy bazooka in the wee hours of the morning on Christmas Eve.
o His reaction after he dropped the ham in the sand and silently endured KoolAid soaked sandwiches on our first camping trip.
o How devastated he was the stormy night he hit a Great Dane who had run out in front of his car.
o Getting a speeding ticket he got in a car incapable of speeding the night before we left for our Florida...

Whole Family,
We are all going to miss Pops, if it was family reunions, camping, cookouts, him and grandma bickering (usually instigated by Matthew, Kyle and Myself) and having the constant support at sporting events. He isn't going to miss anything, because he will be looking down on us every day.
