Here's to the man that taught me how to ride a bike without training wheels -- to the man that knew every CCR song and introduced me to Jeremiah was a Bullfrog -- to the man that would try to fix anything and everything, whether he could do it or not -- to the man that answered my car-buying questions from his hospital bed and who had an in-depth conversation with me about the awesome Michigan/Michigan State game this year:
Camping won't be the same without you, Dougie. Give Grandpa a hug from all of us! We love you!
So sorry for your families loss. It's amazing how fast cancer can take someone away. It sounds like you have wonderful memories of your uncle, hold tight to those always.
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so sorry to hear about your uncle. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
