Celebration of Life is a correct description for the memory of Poppa, Charles James Wilson.
I loved talking old-time stuff with him. Can you imagine the memories he had living through the 1930s, the Great Depression, the Second World War and even the hippie era of the 1960s and 1970s. What a wonderful span of years he experienced. Through all that, he was grounded and a down to earth kind of guy. I'm glad that he kept busy with his art, in cutting and sanding wood, and painting in his later years. What a pleasant man. I'm glad that Madge and Poppa always welcomed me into their Antiques Shop, as a photographer, when I was feeling low, so I could snap a photo or two on a rainy day to pick up my mood. Poppa had a fortunate life, both productive and long. Both my wife and I were blessed to know the man.
