I called him “Dad”.
My Brother called him “Pops”.
Our father held many titles throughout his 89 years here on Earth:
Son, Brother, Uncle, Grandpa, but one title stands out above all others –
“Friend”. He was my best friend!
Related to him or not he was a cherished friend to all who knew him.
Dad was a man of honor and integrity. With a lifetime’s worth of acquired
wisdom and gentle good humor he was my rock, anchor, lifeline,
and the single most important influential guiding force in my life.
We will all miss him.
Rest In Peace.
