So grateful to have had him as my Pop. Always ready to help, always ready to share a laugh and a smile, always ready to make you feel loved. I do miss him and comfort myself conjuring up decades of memories. So many great ones. He would always point out the animals when we were on a drive across country or just down the road. I'm just like him now and feel so fortunate for this love of animals and nature. He loved his family more than anything. Here's a picture of all us together in Seattle. We are missing Greg in this picture but he was with us in spirit.
