Gotta agree with Planter on this one. I know its a loss for you and your family but think of the positive memories you shared with your Uncle, and now you have a chance to share them with more of your family.

My boys may have never met their Great Uncle or their Great Grandfather, but they have all of my memories that I recieved as a kid. It warms my heart to hear them tell their younguns about them as if they were Superheroes of somekind...to me they were.

So take the opportunity my friend and pass them memories on...
