My deepest sympathies Maria & family, I will miss Pop greatly.
He was always only kind and sweet to me, welcoming me into the family with open arms when I was a young new Mother. The joy Julia brought him when she was born, his smile.... I will never forget. All the great times we shared together in Syracuse, NYC, and on family trips to Busch Gardens, Florida and Virginia back in the day.
Cases of beer always, great food, how lucky we are to have those times.
I will hold the many memories close and smile.
I remember having to schedule our travel times around the World Cup schedule, and not fully understanding why? this was crazy, I thought. I understand now....
He was so dedicated. To everything and everyone he loved.
Pop, I love you. Hope you are kicking around with Little John up there.
