Pop: If you can "huh" you can hear.
You: So we were playing outside and...
Pop: What do you mean we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
You: *being too slow*
Pop: My grandmother was slow, but she was old.
You: Hey, Pop!
Pop: Hay is for horses, straw is cheaper.
You: Sorry I'm running late. I'm coming.
Pop: So is Christmas.
"Tell me this, people keep talking about how all our pollution is putting holes in the ozone layer. What do they think rockets are doing when we shoot 'em into space. How's a rocket going to get through the ozone without making a hole?"
Me (reading plaque with Mazzaferro crest on it): This says "mazza" means "club," and "ferro" means "iron." I guess "Mazzaferro" means "iron club."
Pop: You're just like this one (pointing at Grandma). It says "mazza" means "club." So it's "club iron."
Note: Someday Amanda and I are going to open a dance club called "Club Iron." Or a gym. That could work, too.
My grandfather left this world today, but he is still alive in our hearts and memories. Please leave your Popisms or memories about Pop in the comments.

:( I'm so sorry Sarah. We love you!
We are so sorry to hear about Pops. He lived a full life filled with the love of his wife, children and grandchildren. We always enjoyed our visits with your Grandparents when dropping you off or picking you on on Long Island. Give your Grandmother our love. Love, Uncle Clark and Aunt Rhonda
Pop: only two things you can be sure of - death and taxes
You: you can be sure of death and taxes and the fact that the gift of Poppee for a grandfather has been priceless indeed!

Watching your grandfather, loving smile on his face while dancing with you at your wedding was indeed priceless. Love, Gram Mary
You: I don't like tomatoes.
Pop: You don't know what you're missin.

Nothing can compare to our memories of summers in Long Island. We'll see you again, Pop.

You have done a terrific job memoralizing Poppa Fred and we know that you will hold your many fond memories of him close - always.
