We knew before we met Pop for the first time, that he was a dear, sweet, fun loving man with a huge heart for his family and friends from the loving way Chris always spoke about his beloved grandfather. His passing is surely a loss. We hope it comforts you some to know that he left behind so many who share in your grief. He will be missed by all. We wish we could be with you right now to honor and celebrate his life. Please know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers, as always.

Pop was an inspiration to all who met him on how to live and love and how to live with and love others. He will be remembered as much for his accomplishments and the years spent with his devotd family as he will for the impact he had on those around him. We are all truly blessed for the time that we had, and each of our lives will be touched by him for the better for years to come.

While we only got to meet Pops a few times, we have come to understand what an exceptional and truly unique man he was. Clearly these characteristics live on through Jason and the rest of the McBrides. We are thinking of you.
