It's difficult to describe how much of my life you took with you. The sorrowful, gaping hole you left in my existance can never be filled. We shared laughter, hopes, dreams, fears and expectations. We were father and son, best friends, confidants, story-tellers, critics, commentators, comparers, and mutual supporters. You never failed to enjoy my cheesey jokes. I was always available when you were having stress or conflicts; ranging from matters of the lungs (pulmonary embolus) to matters of the heart. I hope you are in a great and wonderful place; entertaining and charming all who come in contact with you. I also hope you know how many, many, many people love you and truly miss you. Rest in peace, POPS
