Pop was truly like an uncle to me. I remember moments with him and his words of encouragement. My car would always breakdown and he´d barely charge my sister and I pennies. I love you pop you were a great example of a hard working man that truly loved what you did. My heart aches to know you´re gone but your love for others still shines and will always leave a mark on me.

Today, we gather not to mourn the passing of a man, but to celebrate a life that touched so many with warmth, kindness, and an unwavering generosity of spirit. Pop, as he was affectionately known to us all, lived a life defined by his selflessness and his passion for helping others Pop's kindness extended far beyond his work. He was a pillar of our community, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer a word of encouragement. His door was always open, and his smile could brighten the darkest of days. He taught us the power of compassion and the importance of giving without expecting anything in return.

In a world often driven by self-interest, Pop stood out as a beacon of goodness. His legacy will live on not just in the cars he repaired or the lives he touched, but in the countless acts of kindness he inspired in others. He leaves behind a void that can never be filled, but also a legacy that will endure through the stories we share and the memories we cherish.

Today, as we bid farewell to Pop, let us not dwell on sorrow but celebrate a life well-lived. Let us remember his laughter, his warmth, and the love he so freely gave. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us all.

Rest in peace, Pop. Thank you for everything you did, for everyone you helped, and for the enduring lessons of compassion you taught us. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in our hearts forever.
