Uncle, Thank you so much for setting the foundation in my life at an early age.I have so much to thank you for all the great memories we shared when I was a young boy. The 49er games were Priceless!But most of all thank you for instilling in me the love of our country and the curiosity to learn the history from those who came before us.You are a man's man,and you lived your life through actions not words.We could use many more like you in this world today.Say hello to my mom for me and give her a big hug,and tell her I love her.
