Here's to you Uncle Fred. You never said much. Just sat there with the smile that told me I was always welcome. I always had the best time at your house. Croquet, jarts or bumper pool. And who could forget that marble gun at Pink Hill Park. Sorry I couldn't be there to say good bye in person. I will miss you.
