Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Tough to those cornerstones move on, truly a different generation and world they grew up in compared to ours of today. I always remember after my mom and dad passed thinking that they were in a spot where they could really keep an eye on me now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 Thanks for the thoughts. Today is his 78th birthday. Gonna be kinda wierd without him around. Talk to my aunt a lot. She's been taking care of him for quite awhile and she said she feels like she lost her job. We had some lively times. Lark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted September 9, 2015 That was a great eulogy for your uncle, Lark. I'm truly sorry for your loss. My mentor also was an uncle. He was a genuine ol' time cowboy born on 11/11/1911 in Mammoth. He grew up along the San Pedro and fell off his horse dead from a heart attack on a roundup near Chivas Falls in his sixties, which was way too young. I still miss him. I'm 79 now, and I look around and find myself the oldest surviving member of all of my known relatives, and my list of friends still breathing keeps shrinking.
