Uncle Mike,
I have many happy memories from my childhood of you and your family visiting our house or us at yours. The time you took me for a ride in your cool blue Mustang, (I actually remember riding the streets of Arlington Heights in that car), you in your Navy uniform and all of us running around the park next to your house. (The house with the water tower next store). I thought that water tower was really cool when I was 10, but now at 50 I am not sure why. The pictures that were posted by Jody reminded me you once had a really thick mustache too. That made me laugh… In more recent times at family parties in my backyard and at the water park in Rockford with Jim, Jenny’s family, you, Aunt Carolyn and some of your family. These were all happy times for me and hopefully for you too.
You have more happy memories to create for a lot of people. Thank you for sharing all you and your family are going through. I hope it is as helpful for you to share these experiences as it is for the rest us to learn.
Steve

Hi, Steve: So you memember the Mustang. We still salk about it!
I still look forward to seeing you whenever I get a chance. Not often enough. Of course, now you are "POPS" and as I say to your brother Jim I am now a former adult having been promoted to senior. It's a role that I think suits me well and I want to contiue it for as long as possible.
I remember the mustache now that Uncle mentioned it but I'm not sure about the blue mustang. Maybe I should start digging in some of those old photos and see what I can find. I remember the water tower too, but I imagine everyone remembers the water tower!!
