When asked he would always say "I'm Alright" even when he wasn't, he never complained. Pop's medical conditions continues to persist which led him to be in and out of the hospital and nursing home. The day before he passed he said he just wanted to lay down. Odell "Pop" Killebrew was a good, kind man, the nicest man you would ever meet! He made everyone around him comfortable, he would do anything for anyone and the word "No" was never in his vocabulary.
