Honoring a Hero: Support for Pop's Funeral and Family Travel

Our family is heartbroken. On 11/19/24, we unexpectedly lost our beloved POP and my father-in-law, Robert Arnold Wenzel (popo), to a brain aneurysm. Pop was a Vietnam War veteran and a recipient of the Purple Heart, a true hero who served his country with honor and courage. But beyond his service, he was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather—a man who brought light and love to everyone who knew him.

This loss has been devastating for our family, especially for my mother-in-law, who now faces not only the emotional weight of this tragedy but also the financial burden of arranging funeral and burial services for Pop.

We are humbly asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Your contributions will help cover the cost of Pop’s funeral and burial services, as well as provide assistance for extended family members with gas money and lodging so they can attend the services and offer support to our mom during her time of need.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference and will be deeply appreciated by our family. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign to help us reach others who might be willing to support us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us as we honor Pop’s life and legacy. He was truly one of a kind, and we will miss him more than words can express.
