On Friday morning, January 27th, Pop went home to be with his wife Ging. He had just celebrated his 99th birthday on the 10th of this month in California with tons of family and friends (we made this video for him since we couldn't be there).
Kyle and I have spent the weekend talking about the kind of man that Pop was... loving, hilarious, selfless, witty, and hard working were among the characteristics that came to our minds. He lived a full and long life and we are so thankful he's at peace now with a body that is whole, no longer holding that sharp mind back!
We are so grateful for the time that we had with him, especially the one-on-one time we had with him when he came to visit us in Atlanta. Although Emery never got to meet him in person, we have many happy memories about him to share with her.
Here's to you Poppa. We love you so much.

I love the pictures and know that Emery will know her "Pop" and her "Gramps" through the memories and images you share with her. What a long full life he led! He will be missed by many, but as you said, he has a new heavenly dwelling. "Now, we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." 2 Corinthians 5:1
