So Sorry, I think everyone on this Forum will surely miss "Pop's"
I also know everyone on this Forum has learned and benefited from him as well.
It was said above he will live on in pretty much all of us, with the contributions he made to this Forum. I never got to meet him, but those who have and knew him will have a big empty spot in their hearts. My condolences to his Family and Friends. You will be missed more than you know.
Pop's taught so many here so much including myself. My deepest sympathies to his family. May it be only a short time until his memories bring a happy smile instead of grieving heart.
Thank you Pop, it was indeed a pleasure knowing you.
All I can do is echo the sentiments expressed here by our fellow forumites.
My first introduction to homemade bacon was because of Pop's Brine. I've shared it with many others, so his achievements live on thru us all.
Pops, you will be missed. Please say hello to Scarbelly for us.
Such sad news to lose a family man and smoking brother, especially so soon. Prayers to his family, friends, and everyone he touched with his guidance. RIP Pops. Teach the angels how to smoke the clouds.
Very sorry to hear this news. Even as a newbie to this community Pop's contributions to the knowledge base here are patently obvious. Like someone posted above, his brine has done wonders for my smoked turkey breast and it's the most requested thing I make. Thanks to Pops for that as well as the many things I have yet to learn -- but he's left here for the taking.
Sad news indeed. Thanks for your contributions Pops. I still use Pops brine for my pork hocks and occasionally bacon and pass it along whenever I encounter someone who is just starting out.
