My uncle Richard was the kind of person who always made me feel welcome. He was my Dad's brother (James)and when my Dad passed away first he would talk on the phone with me anytime to reminisce. We would sometimes tear up together but it didn't last long because he would change the subject and soon be joking around. When all of the family would gather for holidays and picnics at his home aunt Emagene & him were the best hosts! We will miss him and Someday will meet again. I know that this couple is together in eternity. God bless all of his love ones.
