My favorite uncle... my confidant... my source of sanity as a child. You were always there when I needed advice... from messages on a styrofoam cup... to serious domino battles at the table... our hideout in plain sight. So many written messages about life...love... struggles of family... and jokes... so much laughter! I will always love you... thank you for loving me and being such an amazing person.
