I'd always been told that pop's dad had died when pop was about 8 years old, but I was never told the cause of death. Then I found this online last spring. It was in the paper about the time that dad would have been about that age. http://www.newspapers.com/clip/538373/another_je_wrensept_29_1932_pop/
Does anyone know more about this? Did pop's dad really die then, or did the family just disown him?
Just about the last conversation I ever had with pop was when he was in Porter's Hospital for the last time, just before he died November 15, 1979.
I asked him why he'd never told me anything about his father.
"I guess I've always resented him," pop answered. " I had it pretty rough when I was a little guy, and I always thought my life would have been a lot better back then if he'd fought it a little harder."
Does anyone know anything more about pop's dad? If so, please post what you know here so everyone can see, or call me at (303)861-1447, if you miss me you can leave a complete, confidential message there, I'm the only one with the code to the voice mail box.
Thanks.
