Truly sorry for your loss!
Thanks for the kind words guys. As a little kid my uncle was the kind every one loved to have. He and his family lived near us until we moved to Arizona from New Jersey. They would visit freqently (he was my mother's little brother). He was funny, very smart, mischevious and just a great man. He loved tennis and was able to play through his late 60s. He and my dad were very close (my dad didn't have any family). He was able to visit here a few times when my sons were young and I'm very fortunate they had a chance to know him.
The last 10 years or so were not kind to his health, when my cousin called to tell me of his passing we were able to laugh over some great memories and family stories.
I took the day yesterday after the range to just think about things, logged on this morning and saw the nice comments. Be safe out there and enjoy the day.
Prayers on the way for you and your family, please accept our condolences.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm also glad he gave you so many warm, happy memories to cherish.

Just saw this thread. Haven't even posted feedback on yesterday's transaction.
DOC, it was great to meet you yesterday, and I will say that there was absolutely zero indication that there was any type of turmoil in your life. Your composure is inspiring.
Be well, be strong, and please accept my sincerest condolences. I have an uncle like that myself.
