Prayers for your Uncle and You and your family

Spend as much quality time as you can and tell him everything you have ever wanted to.
Try and take him to do his favorite activities if he physically can do them. This will mean teh world to everyone
at the event.


Can you share a quick synopsis of his life for those of us who dont know him?

I would like to hear a touch too, I used to work the Lakeside track and Erie when it was a dirt track. Who knows, I may have met the gentleman.
Short track IS racing at its best and some of the guys were real "unique"

I used to work the Lakeside track

I live 2 blocks south of Lakeside. While I dislike what has become of the place now, I do miss the sounds of the track that I used to hear in the evenings. I remember going to a race there once or twice myself. One stray match and that place would go up in flames now.

As to the descriptive essay of my Uncle I will ponder the task a little and report back.

But basics, grew up on farm in Brighton, which is now well within the current city proper. Moved to Mountain View (just south of Lakeside amusement park for those not familiar with that speed trap) Middle school drop out. Drafted into Army served in Germany with Elvis Presley. (Unsure if exact same unit or just something attached to it (said it was the best chow hall an food in Germany at the time due to Elvis). Self employed in many areas. Owned a typewriter repair shop on 38th and Harlan area for many years. Self employed handy man, self taught Jeweler and quite good at it til his shaking hands made him quit. Very good at building cars as the picture represents. Basic description would just be everyones favorite Uncle.
