If you didnt get a chance to know Pogo, i am tuely sorry. He was an extroidanary person and especially a friend. Him and his family played a big part in our lives and i know we will all miss him very deeply. He and my daughter had a special bond that will never be broken. I can still remember the looks on his and Debbies faces when my daughter said she wanted to get tested and donate one of her kidneys to Pogo. Wow, now you know he had to be a pretty special person to have touched a 12 year old enough to want to go through all that. He was a true eagle and believed in everything that the Fraternal Order Of Eagles stand for, even through-out his illness and i commend him for that. I know my family will deeply miss him and truely feel a void for a long time. Pogo we love you and will never forget you.
