James Arthur Pommerening

Pops was a very simple man yet very confusing at times. Some would say he was a hoarder but those who knew him, knew he was a collector. Previous to him getting sick after his loving wife passed on he could tell you where everything was in his stacks of chaos. Simple meaning he just wanted everyone treated fairly at all times, be kind and take care of all animals and to recycle.

Anyone that crossed JPs path knew better then to drive past some cans on the highway without stopping, they also knew that every couch that was moved needed to be searched for coins. More often than not all that would be found is some Penny's and maybe even a few roaches. People would also tell you he had a story for anything and everything. His vast amount of knowledge was insane. Not quite sure how someone knew that much. Literally the definition of a almanac, encyclopedia and dictionary all put together. He was the literal definition of a parent that STEPPED up and took care of all with no questions asked. To be reunited with the love of his life closes the final chapter of his amazing story.
