I know I never got to know you that well Poobah, but learning your story and how much you´ve dedicated your life to is truly amazing. You were an amazing great grandpa, hope you´re resting easy.

I have so many memories of you, my dearest neighbor. I cannot bear to see your home being emptied. It will always be yours in my mind. Forgive me for being distant these past couple of months, but it was killing me to see you so frail. I love you and will always think of you as my other Dad. Your Friend, Carol

I mourn his loss. He was one of a kind and we shared a lot of time and memories while varmint hunting or at the YMCA, where he was one of the founding members in the Male Slot men's class. I'll miss him.
