Read MoreUncle Jack had all of our backs. Was so sad to hear of this many years back. I found myself unemployed when his sister suddenly died in the 80s. He was nice enough to extend a job offer that I was unable to take being to far away from his shoe store. I wasn't very close to him but he loved his kids I can tell you that. Those family Christmases are still remembered fondly. All the best to the Peil family.

Dad, There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and the bond we shared. We are all scared of dying, no doubt, but the one thing I tell myself is but Mis Dad will be there. You were there for me Dad, and I miss you so very much. The day you died was thr most debilitating day of my life. Sending you love and light.

My best friend. I think of you so often Dad. 15+ years later and I'm crying in bed just thinking of you. The excitement in your voice every time I called. "Oh my God is that Mi-hee."

You were the first man I knew and remain my favorite man of 53 years. The fuzzy hair treatment, the fuzzy...
