Thank you Pops, for everything. I enjoyed many of the long talks, cruises in the 350z and especially the time that we shared together. I will carry the wisdom and knowledge that you gave me for the rest of my life. You will be missed by many.

I will miss Pops dearly. He was a loving and caring person who shared his home with me when I first moved to South Florida. From that moment on, we were great friends. Over the next 3 years that I knew him he became like a grandfather. May he rest in heavenly peace.
