Dear Ray, "POPS" will be missed by the many people he has met. The office will not be the same without him bringing in the mail and keeping us up-to-date on most sports. Our memories of Pops are priceless and ones we will cherish. I'm sure Pops will join Rose in keeping a watch from above. Stach and Sherri
