I want to express my sympathy to you on the death of your husband. I am a neighbor of Velma's and met you at her church picnic last year. I grew up in the Bay View area and am a former resident of Milwaukee. My husband grew up in the Sherman Park neighborhood on Sieben Place off of Sherman Boulevard. I will keep you and your family in my prayers until we meet again. God Bless You.

Pops, it has indeed been an honor and a pleasure getting to know you... even for a short while... Great neighbor... always welcoming with a Smile on your face... Wonderful example of a Husband to Janet, Father to Susan & others, Grandpa and an all around patient and good man. Thanks for your presence on 39th Street all these years. You brought much comfort and a sense of Peace in the area, each time you were home and on your Porch. May you Rest In Peace in the Arms of the Lord Himself and Jesus Christ our Savior.

Pops, you will be missed by EVERYONE who knows you. There are not enough words to express the impact that your life had on those around you. Please keep an eye on the grandkids. Knowing you, you'll figure out a way to help them from where you are.

Dad, I miss you so much. This house isn't the same without you in it. I miss hearing you get up every morning and make coffee and clink your spoon on the cereal bowl to wake me up! Oh yeah, and I miss your snoring!! Love you...Sue
