Dear Uncle - thank you for being a great role model for my and my family. I enjoyed the games of chess, learning from you the basics of carpentry and the great discussions - from the history of the world - to the history of our own family. I knew it when I was young and I know it now - you were your own man and you carried a big heart.
God bless you and thank you.
Corey
