One of kind

My uncle was an amazing man with a sense of humor that none ever rivaled and none will ever. He loved his family and worked hard for them all his life. I am so proud to have had the honor of calling him Uncle and the privilege of being apart of his life and he was the epitome of an older brother to my mother who looked up to him all her life and who misses him dearly. He is still so very loved and eternally missed!
