Even though he was "somewhat" gruff, I loved the man. He was a special father-in-law and I miss him. Where there is Great Love, there is great peace.

Our sympathies on Poppy's passing. We remember how he and Farher would chat about things from years gone by. They were only a few months apart in age and grew up far apart but when they first met at one the McCullough family gatherings, as they entered their 80s, they talked like they'd known each other for a very long time.
