Thank you, Pop, for all that you have given to me and my family. There are a lifetime of wonderful memories that were shared. I still remember your working with me many hours to make a go-cart. I can't remember if it ever worked. You worked so hard to make life easier for me. You wanted all your girls to be happy. One wife, two daughters, five granddaughters and one great-granddaughter. You couldn't have been prouder than you were - and you showed it. You've told me time and time again that there was no one like my mom, your true love. I am happy to know that you two are together again, smiling down at us as you smiled on us when you were with us.
You loved to laugh and more importantly, you loved to make others laugh. You had the ability to do that until the very end. It always amazed me that even though your memory was not the very best, your wit was always on the mark.
In the last few days, I have had many people reach out to me to tell me how kind you and mom were and how their memories of you still made them smile. You have touched many lives and the world is a better place for how you have influenced the people that you met.
I'm sorry that we didn't get to celebrate your 90th birthday - but we will celebrate your life. To a great man, father, grandfather, great grandfather, father-in-law, uncle, brother, brother-in-law and friend. You will be missed but never forgotten.
I love you,
Carol
