Missing my uncle. He was truly one of a kind. Funny, generous, dependable, thoughtful, deep lover of his family, and so many more outstanding characteristics. He was a brother but was embraced as a father-figure to his siblings. May his memory live on in all of us who were recipients of his love and enduring commitment.
