When I was 18, I told Pop-pop that I loved the gold chain and pendant he was wearing. He grabbed the pendant, looked at me and said (in his New York accent), "Do you know who this is?... This is Jesus Christ. Do you believe that Jesus Christ our Savior died for your sins?"
I said...."Um....Yes!!"
He took the gold necklace off, handed it to me and said "....Then you can have it."
I have worn this gold necklace almost every day since....and I am now 28. It gives me comfort today knowing that my Pop-Pop is safe in heaven with our Lord Savior Jesus Christ!

Dad, all I can say is "you are so damn cute!" I was so looking forward to bringing you home. You worked so hard in physical therapy to regain your strength. You held your head high and did whatever you were asked to do. I was so proud of you. You were my husband's father, and you did a terrific job. You were my father-in-law, yet treated me like a daughter. I will miss your beautiful blue eyes, your smile, and dancing with you. I will see you again, but until then, I will miss you madly!

When we lived in Basking Ridge when I was in 4th grade, I would sit at the dining room table and do homework. I was a bit OCD and hated pencil eraser marks on my paper so I would do a rough then final draft. PopPop would always walk through and bang on the glass top and say "homework girl!" I thought he was teasing me but later found out he made my Dad do his homework over if it was sloppy. :) I guess he was secretly proud I did that on my own without anyone telling me to, which was how he was with all of us. We'd talk religion, politics, and culture and he would sometimes just nod and look sideways at me, and repeat. I used to think he was skeptical of what I said but then grew to think maybe he was proud to have grandkids who thought for themselves, appreciated those same things as he did, and was happy he played a part in shaping us. We will miss you dearly, never forget those lessons, and will take good are of Nana, PopPop! Love you always.

There must have been an opening in heaven for an engineer because Howard would be the best candidate.
Howard had a great life serving the engineering community in many facets, graduating from Columbia University and notably as a Navy veteran during World War II.
Howard seemed to take it all in with his long and joyful life with his family, notably with his family and grand kids.
Howard will surely be missed but never forgotten. My prayers go out to the Baker and Landgraf family.
Respectfully,

"This morning the world will wake up a lot emptier as it is void the presence of a great man yet... heaven is fuller because Jesus has just welcomed a humble servant into His Kingdom. Praise God for lending Pop Pop to us. Pop pop has graduated... He was my Dad."..
