Rest in peace my dear uncle.
He will & is greatly missed. I still come home to my moms look at his door&part of me wishes he’d come out &greet me like he every morning/night with his ho ho”s. I miss the sound of his ring hitting my moms window in the morning to bring us muffins/bread/pies when we were both sick& a couple of times a week we’d compare our home made soups. He and my mom met about 2 yrs ago in an odd way but since then he’s been part of our family and attended most of our gatherings. We have know him for a short while towards the ending of his life but good memories we have of him & we will miss him dearly.
