He was a gentle giant, a father figure, one of my most favorite uncles, dear to my heart. I still remember when I was probably 6 years old he took a penny and placed it on a wart on my finger, blew his cigar smoke on it and told me it would go away. It did...I thought he was magic! I know you will be missed but also know you are at peace with the family. Prayers to Rhonda and all of the grandkids and great grandchildren..we love you.
