Pop lived each day celebrating life, giving unselfishly and loving God and his family.

True Christian love for our family is greater than natural affection, for such love is not born of the flesh or the will of man, but springs from Christ and Him crucified. God sent Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for our sins to bear the righteous judgement that our sins deserved — “herein is love” (1 John 4:10)
