Every time I eat a tuna sandwich I remember to drain the tuna first, thanks to Poopsie's constant joking about the one time I forgot to drain it. It makes me smile.

He touched many lives. The service was beautiful and memorable.

Wendy, Bryan, Dawn, Kyle, Morgan and many friends: My condolences, love, and prayers are with you all.
