RIP Uncle Pyre. Thank you for being the man that you always were. You were truly like a father to me. Thank you for your love, your shelter and protection, your jokes and "magic". You leading by example, taught me that excuses get you nowhere, education is important and respect and manners are mandatory. Growing up, things happen that we as children don't understand and we think we know something, while all the while we don't know jack. Growing older and wiser has shown me that you had our best interest at heart and was only trying to ensure that we would be ok. And I truly love you for that. Until, we meet again, know that I will always love and appreciate you for that. Kiss your sisters, my mother Mary Spratley and Aunt Gal, Alease Spratley Mings for me. Also, the start of us all, Grandma, Bessie Spratley.
