My sweet uncle, you never lost your temper and always spoiled me.LOL . We didn't have a perfect family but I will miss our family gathering and the silly things we did.Thanks to you and Jane for going with us to Alaska and Stone Mountain. I hated watching you fight this disease but you were very humble and always appreciated everyone and everything that helped you. Love you always and always!
