There are only a few people in life that we can truly say have affected us in a completely positive way. I have been blessed to know Tunny in this way.
When I learned of his passing, it made me think of all the good times I had with him through the course of my life.
As a child, I played at his home. As
a young adult, I stayed at his home.
And as an adult, I visited his home.
During these times, Tunny always made time to let me know that he cared about people. Maybe it was watching a game together, a ride in the car, or a little conversation. Whatever it was, you knew he cared. In the last couple
of years, I have become a teacher, and
Tunny has influenced that for me. His kindness, patience, and understanding
will always be an important part of my life and I would like to thank him for
that. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Tunny was a special person.
When we were small, he regaled us with stories, sometimes inappropriate for children our age. But we were enthralled, sometimes simply because he involved us. He took a somewhat perverse pleasure in teasing us. But somehow, instinctively, we knew it was his way of interacting with us…and on occasion, if it went too far, he apologized by comforting us to let us know that he really hadn’t meant to upset us.
As we grew older, he was the one who was always there. Somehow, he made the time to attend or participate in any event that was meaningful to us, from dance recitals to athletic events…and it really didn’t matter to him how well we did. Participation was its own reward and he let us know that. But if by some predestined miracle you were actually successful, he lavished praise and made you feel like you were the most important person in the world. He was truly interested and made us feel significant. It showed his genuine love for us and it mattered.
As adults he continued to follow our lives. Whenever together, with a twinkle in his eye, he asked about our careers, hoping that we were doing well and that we were happy. He exuded a joy for life that was infectious. He asked those of us who had children, about their lives and eventually our grandchildren’s too. His interest was real. He was concerned and he cared.
There is an empty place in our hearts now. But hopefully, he is at peace, looking down empathizing with us over our troubles and reveling in our triumphs.
Yes, Uncle Tunny was a very special person. He will be missed, because he was so loved.

Dear Joyce ,Lisa and Family;
I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. It is a difficult time when a parent passes. All of a sudden we are the Patriarch or Matriarch of the family...and we no longer have anyone to turn to.But know that God is there for you. Know that many are praying for you and your family.
God Bless.
