R.I.P. Pop Pop

I got some heart breaking news late last night.  My grandfather who suffered a stroke on New Year's Day after a 10 year battle with cancer passed away.

Growing up I always called him Pop Pop.  He will forever be a major influence on my life due to his work ethic and the way he tried to support his family.

R.I.P. Pop Pop

Here is a sampling of my Willie "Pops" Stargell collection.
Pops will always be the leader of the Pirates 1979 team which has been dubbed "We Are Family".  My Pop Pop could be thought of the same way.
 I'm not in the blogging mood today so please just enjoy these cards.

  3. I'm sorry to hear of your "Pop Pop"'s passing. My father in law was our "Pop" and he passed a few years ago. Condolences to you and your family.

  4. Sorry to hear about your grandpa, Bryan. It sounds like his last few years had been pretty rough. You spoke of his work ethic, but being able, and willing, to fight cancer for ten years says an awful lot about his character as well.
