Thank you for reaching out to me when you did to get reconnected with the family. Pop-Pop (John Upton) was a great man I am so
glad I was able to enjoy his company when you both visited
me in California and when I was able to visit you both in Arizona. He will
truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Your grandson John & his family.
