Last night heaven gained an angel, my daddy. Thank you for giving me a happy childhood, one I’ll always remember. I’ll never forget the nights when we were little and you’d play guitar while we were in the bathtub. I can still hear you singing Check Yes or No and Kiss the Girl while we splashed around. Then there were the chocolate chip pancakes the size of our heads and wacky Wednesday’s when you’d cover us in spaghetti. The Jeep rides with the doors off and taking the 4 wheeler out for a spin around the neighborhood. You taught me how to shoot a gun and made the best dang cheeseburgers there ever were. You’re the reason I have such a love for Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and Matchbox 20. I’ll miss the trips to Table Rock Lake, driving your boat and the funny bandanas you would wear on your head. I’ll miss your smile, your laugh, your hugs. You were so goofy and I loved that. 

I’m so thankful I got a few more special moments with you when you moved to St. Louis. Calah loved her Papa Kev & I know you loved her too. You were the best grandpa and I’ll always make sure she knows that. 

Last night I squeezed your hand for the last time and told you how much I loved you.. I even got to tell you some special news. When the sun came out for the first time 30 min after you had passed I knew it was you telling me you had made it. Kiss Grandma Jan and Papa Joe for me. Until next time dad, I love you 🤍

Love, 
your Liza

Gregg Pohl 1967-2021

Link Gregg had a way with people. From his early childhood days and throughout his adult life, he made connections easily and cultivated a wide circle of friends. These were tried-and-true buddies who were like family to Gregg, and they in turn had a special fondness for him, calling him nicknames like “Lil Pro” or “Pohlie.” He was extremely loyal and protective of his family and friends. My brother was an avid sports enthusiast – both as a player and spectator. I remember attending almost all of his high school wrestling matches; they were intense, exciting, and nerve wracking all at once! Then he discovered his true love, golf, and eventually went on to obtain his PGA playing card and work at notable clubs in Missouri, Florida, Ohio, New York, and Kansas. Fishing was another passion that he was able to indulge during his years in Florida. And while he likely cheered on local teams when he was living in different states, his undying support and allegiance to the Mizzou Tigers and St. ...
