Mr. Popp was one of my teachers quite awhile ago in Port Charlotte High and I went to school with Carolyn and David. I loved attending his classes and enjoyed his sense of humor. We lost a great educator and a wonderful person. My condolences to his family and friends.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mr. Popp was my math teacher at Punta Gorda Jr. High. He was the first person to make it click for me and it came so much easier. Mr. Popp was an exceptional teacher, if we could only have more like him in the school system. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family.
