When we lost our sisters and our big brother -- without question dear Uncle you were there. When David, Buck, Annie, Mary and Chris were all called Home first -- dear Uncle you were there. You were there to comfort and console us -- and to treat us as your own. You were there to lead us strong in family -- and remind us that we were not alone. You were there to lend a kind word and to remind us of the Lord. You and Auntie Sal taught us to always lean on God's words. You became the father of our clan; the family patriarch we could look up to. And now with sad eyes and very heavy hearts we say our farewell to you. But we know without a doubt that we will feel you in the air; for just as you always were we know that your guiding Spirit will ALWAYS be there. Lovingly submitted in sorrow, your nieces and nephews: Shug, Roy, Joe, Bobby, Julius, Mena, Tony, and all of your grand nieces and nephews.
