We all miss you Poppy, things weren't the same starting this New Years off without you counting down the seconds with us. I love you and you'll always be remembered

Poppy, I'm still in shock that you are gone. We weren't very close at all but the time knowing you was great. You were the only grandfather I've ever known. & I'm so happy I had the chance to meet you and see who you were. You are loved and missed by many. RIP Poppy.❤ -Kyla

Oh Poppy how everyone misses you. I remember when I first met you and nana you were always very welcoming. For the many years that I've known you, you never hesitated to make me feel a part of the family. But you also never hesitated to tell me what I needed to hear either. I've always looked to you like my own family. I'll cherish the memories forever. Go bucks! And Walmart people are crazy! Love you Poppy
