Out on a boat among the water a fisherman stood and his life he pondered happy and free, calm and collect he tightly gripped his fishing rod and waved to the sea... My friends through the years my pals and the rest, I'll hold you close to my heart and I wish you the best. I love you all dear and if you must know, my heart is at rest but my soul will always glow... The man closed his eyes put his rod to the side, smiled and realized it's time for goodbye. We love you, Pop The Lord took you from us and don't you ever forget in our hearts it is felt we have instant debt... I miss you Pop. ...Chrissy
