Poppy was a special man with strong work ethics. His focus in life was undoubtedly his family. He was a fun Poppy who loved to tease his grandchildren and great grandchild. He particularly loved spending time with his wife of over 60 years. He found joy in holding her hand right until his last breath. He could be found walking the beach as it reminded him of the Aran Islands. Poppy enjoyed working in his yard and had quite the artistic flair to his creations. He will be truly missed and forever loved.
