Uncle Passing

I just wanted to tell you about the passing of my uncle.
My Uncle Walt passed away on Christmas Day.
He was the Father of 6 Great kids. Mike and Mitch, Patty, Pam, Collette, and Erin ( my twin cousin).
My Dad and I would stop by and see Walt. Once or twice we had went ice fishing, and deer hunting. Mostly he was in his workshop. I always remember how tickled he got when talking about Garth, and Amber, and the other Grandkids. The littlest things tickled him and he just laughed and called them " little pistols". I never forgot that, and took that with me into my parenthood, and I call my youngest daughter "Pistol".
My Aunts and Uncles grew up in a very different era, and didn't have a lot of luxeries, you had to be tough. He had a tough exterior, but I know that many of them had a softer interior that they were afraid to show.
I miss my cousins, and If they are reading this, They should know that I missed out on a lot of the family events like kids, and grandkids, and I wish I could have experianced more of that. The same goes for My other cousins, and second cousins.
Mark, Denny, Antoinette. Eric, Mark, Renee,....
My German Cousins Udo, und Petra. ( Vas es los ).
Bye.
