It's been 2 years papou. I miss you more than ever and wish I could go back in time. I can never thank you enough for teaching me everything you did & always making sure I was okay in life. I have never met somebody as smart, wise and caring as you. You're the reason I have the knowledge I do today. Until we meet again, I love you.

Pops, It has been 8 months now since you left us, I don't have a need to express my love and how much I miss you, that is a given, however I would like to thank you for many memories that I may not have appreciated at the time. Introducing me to sports, always having time to take me to practice, and not ever missing many games, I now know what a commitment that was. Providing for our family, and giving me the opportunity for a education at whatever level I chose.. Although I did not take advantage of that education, you still instilled a work ethic in me by example, which I think I have followed subconsciously. You may not have always been easy, but that was your job as a dad, I can only hope my children can say the same about me. See you again !
