I really enjoyed Pops. We were his neighbors for many years on Rhea and remained friends even after we moved. He always had a friendly wave and kind words to say when we'd see each other. Whenever my sons had any mechanical issue they were always working out some deal with Pops. Jeremy would just pay him to fix it, while Josh opted to work right along side Pops to see how it was done. My husband, Ron, would hire Pops for anything to do with vehicles before he'd go to anyone else. Pops knew his stuff! My youngest son, Ken liked to visit with Pops, too. He was too young for the mechanic work, but he liked to talk with him & Pops would always make time. Pops had a heart of gold and a twinkle in his eye. He was full of knowledge, and told many stories of days gone by but was still able to stay tuned with the changing world. You are quite a man, Pops and I feel very thankful to have known you. Until we meet again.... Your old friend & neighbor, Val Free
