Christmas morning, my Uncle Rick passed away. This was my mother's youngest brother. He'd had some surgery awhile ago, complications occurred, things went downhill, and he just wasn't that spirited man ready for a cold drink, laughs, and some hijinks. This pic was at my brother's quite a few years ago.
Uncle Rick with my Aunt Connie
Here's an older pic - Aunt Audrey, my late Uncle Lee (mom's oldest brother), my late Aunt Jane (her older sister), Uncle Rick and Aunt Connie, a family friend, and my cousin Heather in front
Here's a really long ago pic of them
And the siblings from over 30 years ago or so - Uncle Rick, my mom, Uncle Lee, and Aunt Jane
He was a good man, hard working, loved his two girls - Jennifer and Heather, loved his wife, had lots of friends, and was always ready for some fun.
Uncle Rick will be missed. Thanks for reading this salute
Hi Joanne ... so sorry to read this he sounds a wonderful uncle, and brilliant man for his family ... excellent 'farewell' from you ... and fascinating to the images. You look like your aunt Jane? Take care and all the best for the rest of the week - Hilary
ReplyDeletethanks. My brother had the most pics to share and it was fun seeing some oldies. I favor my father actually. Uncle Rick was just a solid good guy - that's the best description.
