- The way he was always optimistic and cheerful.
- How he never complained about his sufferings or his pain to us. He was always excited to see us.
- He was so much fun, silly and would crack some of the dumbest jokes. Small tears would form around his eyes and his face would scrunch up like it was hurting too much to laugh so hard.
- He could make anything beautiful. The Creator allowed him to be a creator. Wood, stain glass, painting, scrim shaw, etc. The man did everything crafty and succeed.
- Making up songs was a favorite past time. They usually didn't make a whole lot of sense, were usually about one of the grandchildren and made everyone laugh. Pop was also a wonderful singer.
- He loved to sing hymns and would get teary eyed as he sang the powerful lyrics.
- Pop reflected Christ well to us.
- He loved well and wasn't quick to judge but wanted to really get to know people.
- He was bold in his faith and purposeful with his spheres of influence.
- How he taught us patience in life just through his love for carving, which took much patience. He said that to see the external glory takes time.
- How he came to our ball games and was so excited to see us afterward to tell us well done.
- Racing down the hall way in his wheelchair in the hospital.
- Loving Nana, Mom, and Uncle Mark so sweetly and faithfully.
- His wisdom.
