Uncle ariel was married to my mom's sister. We all called him pappy. He loved all children. I loved going to "doe and pappy's growing up. When I became a grown adult my granddaughter jade continued with the tradition of going to doe and puppy's. She would get pappy to take her to the mall and he would buy her whatever she wanted. When I would object that he was spoiling her he would not hear of it.I have many great memories that will always be part of my life and hope that my aunt and pappy are back together again.
