Pops the first thing I want to say is that I enjoyed having you for a father in- law for 30 years. It was nice to see you at Christmas you surprised me with how well you looked and how well you were doing. I am going to miss your smile, donuts, cupcakes and asking if I wanted something to drink. I enjoyed holidays and going out to dinner with you and Dolores. No matter how bad you felt you always had a smile on your face, I know you are in heaven with Louie and Michael and one day we will all be together again your daughter in-law. Barbara Wilson Mendoza
Pop had already passed away when I got there but it had not really sunk in yet. We were sitting there talking about pops (Pete Mom Nick Paula) bringing us up during our childhood. He was a serious strict discipline man, but he always wanted the best for us, and he loved us in his own way, though he may never have said it out loud. Most of you know he never showed his feelings. He never asked anybody for help, but he would always be there if someone did. He would do just about anything for you if you "JUST ASKED' He was a good dad. Going through photo albums with nieces and nephew telling them how he brought us up and everything he shared with us He was strong willed and showed his strength to the end, all of phone calls and people coming over during the week just talking and being reminded of him kept our minds busy. Before I was leaving, I said it's like pops at work or at the store and will be walking in the door any minute. Now with a heavy heart I know that he is gone but will always be loved and remembered Art
To a wonderful father in law who I've always known as Pop, I'll always remember our traveling, out eating and just sitting at the table talking. All the good memories that we got to share with you, Love you and miss you. Your daughter in law Paula
Pop it's only been a short time since you went home with the Lord and reunited with Louie and Michael. I really miss seeing, talking and having our laughs together. I will cherish all the memories of you throughout all the years I was Blessed to have you around. But like our last conversation you told me "I'll see you again" I know in my heart that to be true, when that day comes. I'm proud to be called your son, Nick
You will be miss he would always tell me pet my dog I would always say No No l am going to miss his famous word WOW ……..why not
