Rest in peace, Uncle Sam. One of my fondest memories of you is when you and my dad would pick me up at the airport and we would stop and buy a watermelon on the way home. Every time I eat watermelon, I think of you! My prayers are with the whole family that they may have peace and healing. I'll see you later!
