Goodby Uncle Henry

06037.....that is where my recently departed uncle lived since 1961. He died this past Monday. I once had 15 uncles and now I have none. My favorite uncle was Henry and the last to go. A good man a veteran of WWII , navel air corps , a U-Boat hunter in the Atlantic. He also had time for his family. I received some of that time.....it was important time. He taught me such skills from how to clean fish to how to drive to what kind of a woman I should look to wed. That generation is all most gone now. We are I believe more the poorer for it. That generation that nurtured my generation and sometimes put up with alot from us is all most gone from the earth. A generation that stopped a great darkness from descending upon our earth and came back to build an unheard of economic rise from the ashes of a difficult first half century. But you know what I will miss the most and remember at his funeral this Thursday? His humor. He kept his good humor. So , to you Uncle Henry , thanks for the guidance , the patience , the humor that was you. Part of the good that I am is a result of you. I needed it and you supplied it. Peace.
