The admiration I have for my Pop-Pop is unparalleled, save for that which I have for my father, Lance. Always calm, always quiet, with a sagacious demeanor. On May 18th, 2016, at approximately 2:00 in the afternoon, the world lost one of its last gentlemen. Our family will never be the same, now that the man we could count on for his strength of character, and mind has left us. I love you Pop-Pop. I hope that you have found peace in death that you were denied in life.
