Pops I can not thank you enough for all the love you have given to us over the years. My kids considered you a grandfather and that’s where your nickname came in. The memories you were able to give us all are uncountable. The hugs, smiles and laughs. The day you went and grabbed your gun as a dog was crouched down, ready to attack the girls. The morning after we took everyone’s lawn furniture and decorations and put them at your place. The time you and I had to explain to Ma that’s not a skunk but happy tobacco. But my favorite was when your sister Hope and I FaceTimed you and you answered on the toilet. The memories can go on I hope you know how much you meant to all of us Bronson’s. I am forever in debt to you for the void you filled in my kids heart. Love you Pops Until we meet again
