Some of my fondest memories of my childhood involve Pop, even though circumstances & geographical distance didn't allow us to remain close. I loved that he found solace in his vegetable garden, and he made the best sweet pickles. And his homemade ice cream on the back deck is a treasured childhood memory. Thanks for adding some sweetness to my life, Pop. Rest peacefully. I love you.
