Cancer Memorial

P.O.G.s’ Customers & Employees pay tribute to loved ones lost to cancer, loved ones fighting cancer & survivors of cancer.

In loving memory of:

Dr. William M. Somers

Dr. Somers was an uncle to P.O.G.'s co-founder, Matt Somers.

Matt remembers that Uncle Bill was a very caring individual and is missed every day.

Dr. Somers was an eye doctor in Las Vegas and Matt believes he got his "eye" for the optical world from his uncle.

In loving memory of:

Jack Fehring

Jack was Kate Shafar's dad. Kate is on the Sales/Marketing team at P.O.G.

Kate says that she couldn't have asked for a better dad and feels lucky to have had him for the 23 years that she did. She is very thankful for all the cherished times her family had together.

Jack will never be forgotten as he lives in the hearts of his wife, Paula and his triplet children and their spouses: Sarah & husband, Zach, Nick & wife, Jamie and Kate & husband, Sean (and many more) every day.

In honor of

Bob Walter

Bob has been cancer free for 9 months! He enjoys supporting the American Cancer Society. Bob participated in the local Relay for Life event this past June with his family & friends (pictured here).

Bob is a good friend to Ashley Crill, who works in the Accounting department at P.O.G.

In honor of

Charline Tamerius

Mom, your absence has impacted our lives immeasurably. Our time with you was far too short but more than most could hope for in realizing a mother's love and devotion to her children. We miss you more than words could express and treasure every moment spent with you. Dedicated to the loving memory of our mother, Charline, who lost her battle with cancer on August 5, 1984.

Charline was a mother to Mike Tamerius (Co-founder), Carlene Titus (Customer Service Rep) and Deb Larson (Data Entry Manager).
