Kent,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness.
Sometimes we are lucky to have special people come into our lives and touch our hearts…Pop was one of those people to me. He was one of the kindest people I know. He had such an infectious laugh that when you heard it you couldn’t help but laugh along. Of course, he thought he was saying something funny! (He really did have a wonderful sense of humor). When I think of Pop I will think of the twinkle in his eyes when he was being mischievous. I will think of him driving in the car with his little doggie. He sure LOVED that dog! I’ll remember him inviting me to go for a ride on his motorcycle and finally getting home five hours later. I thought we were going down the road and back! I have so many good memories….too many to write. I’m so glad I was one of the lucky ones to know Pop. I love you and I will miss you!
