twenty years. Pop loves his people and his family and will almost do anything to make his people happy. He planted flowers
and tree to uplift the community in the 90s , he brought a building in hopes of making a community center where the neighborhood
youth can operate, gain knowledge and get off the streets. He has an open door policy for the neighborhood youths and was
