Pop provided so many fond memories as he was so focused on family- Sunday dinners, weekends in the Pocono mountains, shore trips. He loved being involved with his Grandsons, whether it was watching sports, attending school concerts, and even playing video games! His sense of humor never failed to bring smiles, and his playful joking with Rita always highlighted his deep love for her.

Pop will be forever in our hearts
