Not sure what to say?

"Unk" will be greatly missed by so many of us. I am Gil's sister in-law. Unk was at EVERY family function we had. He loved watching the kids play and always loved the FOOD we had. He would hold my hand when I would stand by him. He NEVER, EVER complained about anything!! He was a HUGE Yankees fan. Gil and Michelle got him to a game last year-THAT was so awesome! (Like a kid in a candy store) He always made me realize that "BEING" was a blissful thing!! My thoughts are with you all. ...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

It is with saddness I write to all of you. Unkie was a special person and this all brings me back to the many nice times when our families were young. When all of our kids were little, it was unkie who kept them occupied playing cars on the floor and being the most dependable babysitter.
My thoughts are with you all.

Since I learned of Unke's passing, I find myself thinking of you and your family and how much we will all miss him. I am comforted because I am one of the lucky ones whose life was touched by him. I join you and the many others who will miss him, but I remain grateful still for having known him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Unke's passing. Unk was a fine man and a significant influence for many. I will miss him a great deal. Please remember that I am here to help however I can. Don't hesitate to call if you need help anything or if you simply need a listening ear.

Deepest sympathy to all of you.
God Bless,
Ruth Kiss and the Icenogle families.

Nelson Family,
So sorry to hear about Unk's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
