I remember him working on ur home when we were little. I remember his laugh and smile. All of us riding in dads boat and swimming at the river. I also have a few memories of arrow head hunting down by the river. I remember one time he found a nice one and he was rubbing the dirt off of it when he showed it to me. I am saddened I have not seen him for a few years. He was a wonderful man! As uncles go he was a good one. He will always hold a special place in my heart❤
