Aunt Joan and all my Cousins,
My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt love to you all in this time.
My memories of my uncle are of him larger than life, Singing in the church, thinking WOW that’s my uncle???. In his greens going to a scout meeting, driving those mini cars on parade, pride of his rank in his service organization, trying to teaching me how to water ski out back, and finally teaching me and my boys a love for model planes. Always seeming stern and realizing later what a great loving heart he had. Always knowing that though I have been remiss in calling, there would be a handshake and a hug when and if I could make it back east. I will miss him and know that in grief, there is also celebration, and a mighty voice added to a choir I hope to hear some day.
