Uncle Don,
I was the only kid in my neighborhood to have an Uncle that could FLIP HIS TEETH, and they would always end up on the dinner table.
I can remember many times that I had to SHOOT OPEN YOUR EAR.

LOVE,
JIM CONTE SR.

His phenominal sense of humor was only surpassed by his love of people. That's not thunder we are hearing today - its Uncle Don cracking them up upstairs.
