I remember growing up and visiting everyone during holidays and occasional, just because visits, as a young child... We didn't visit often but every memory I do have of visiting and being around all of you is cherished.
Uncle Tug is a remarkable man. I will miss him.
You all are in my thoughts.
Love,
