Ray, Uncle “Buddy,” was my father’s brother. He will always be in our hearts as a kind and always uplifting guy. One’s uncle is a special sort of guy and he certainly was for me. You know, your Dad is a disciplinarian and your uncle is sort of the same sort of person, but more pleasant. Uncle Buddy was that for me. I just loved being around him and I will miss the opportunity to do that again. I’m no kid now. He was 98. I am 71. Thanks for reminding me what an uncle should be.
