My uncle died this evening.

[LoisB]

I don't know why I'm posting this except that he was a truly good man and the last of my grandmother's eight children. He lived a good and long life and I will miss him.

Having special memories of special people has always been how I have dealt with loss. Knowing he was a truly good man is a beautiful start. You certainly loved him enough to let us know about him. Thank you

[LoisB]

5. Thank you for the kind words.

I don't know why I'm crying. I am usually very pragmatic about death. He called me LoLo.

It’s a beautiful thing

17. Thank you calimary. Yes, he did.

I strive to be as pure of heart as he was. I often fail but he never did.

10. It looks like you and your uncle had a special relationship LoisB (LoLo). And that you have loving memories of him.

[LoisB]

19. Oh yes indeed. He was my hero in life.

He had a very quiet strength. Never raised his voice in anger but went through life quietly getting things done. One day I hope to be just like him.
