"Pops" was a consummate outdoorsman: he enjoyed spending time in his garden or up at the family cabin, always devising and executing newer and bolder plans for the space around him. He knew how to teach by example and always made sure the job was done right. When Pops became passionate about something, there was no stopping him from learning and doing more about it. One of his greatest passions was spending time with his grandkids: he always made time for them, usually accompanied by a groan-inducing Dad joke. He was so proud of each of their achievements and wanted so much for each of them. He loved his family and especially his wife, Kathy, with all his heart; he could remember the first time he ever saw her with a smile in his eyes and a teardrop in his voice. He lived his life the best way he knew how and if he had any regrets, they were far outweighed by the things he gave his love to. He lives on through this love; we will miss him.
