Tribute - a gift, testimonial, complement, or the like, given as due or in acknowledgment of gratitude or esteem.
I have created this web site because my beloved Pop deserves to have a tribute to his special life. My Pop was a remarkable man who was devoted to his wife, his children, his home, his gardening and his cats. There isn't anything that he wouldn't do and didn't for his family and friends.
I also created this site to document my Pop's story for myself and to share it with anyone else who would like know about a remarkable man.
He would be the first to admit that he didn't have many friends later in life but he didn't seem to care because he had his family with whom he loved to be around. He was without a doubt the best friend that I will ever be fortunate enough to have. There wasn't anything we didn't do together or any where we didn't go together. I wouldn't have had it any other way and I know he wouldn't have either.
My Pop had the biggest and strongest heart than anyone I have ever or will ever know. He was also the most courageous man have ever or will ever know.
I Miss You Pop. I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know. Now and Forever!
We'll be together again someday Pop, until then we'll always be together and you'll live on in my heart!
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of the day
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah, yes these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life has been full, I've savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free!
