    My Pop pop was the most, amazing, caring, kind man ever. I wish we got more time together, however, I know he is in peace, and he is with God. I am so grateful I got to know him and spend as much with him as I did. I remember everything about him, and all of our memories. One thing I will NEVER forget is the 1000 bottles of beer on the wall song, we would sing together in the car on the way to get food or hibachi, which was always one of our favorites. The best grandpa anybody could ask for. Pop pop thank you for showing me what it means to have an amazing, patient, loving, and caring grandfather. I love you forever, until we meet again. ❤️
