Uncle Chic - you were always a positive influence on us all, straight and narrow, honest as the day was long, you gave people the benefit of the doubt, the love of creating with your God given skills, tolerance was something you did naturally and we all were wonderfully influenced by you. I for one needed that and I thank you for it, eternally. If anyone wanted to see the single most wonderful legacy you left among many they just need to look at your family - all there for each other, quiet and full of grace, not a family that thrives on or tolerates bad emotion or in-fighting, a family that loves and cherish's each other despite the miles - no small feat to accomplish in this day and age.

Hope you brought a tape measure with you for the Bocce match's that probably are already in full swing, I'm sure you remember my father has a tendency to kick the Pollena...

Thank you so much for being.

Love,
Jay, Sara, and Maggie
