Pop's favorite hobby was spending time with family especially his many grandkids and great grandkids. Pop's nuggets of wisdom were known as "Popism's" with a few of them being: "don't take the wooden nickels," "you'll get better before you get married," "see you in the funnies," everybody gets a turn," "don't jump out the basement window," "swish the bush," and "bubaloo." Affectionately known to the community as "Mr. C," he was able to spread his cheerful happy go lucky attitude.
