My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this time of transition. As I also had the pleasure of knowing and being apart of this family, If you ever took the opportunity to get to know him, you found that he exemplified a very kind and giving demeanor. I will always remember his ability to 'throw-down' in the kitchen during the many family gatherings - he would make the best she-crab soup and he loved my fried chicken! Forever in our memories...Rest well "Pops"
