My paternal uncle Virgil passed away yesterday. It was sudden, but not unexpected. He died at home. He’s pictured here with my father Harley and their brother Arlyn. My father is the youngest and Virgil was the oldest. In the car photo Virgil is seated on the car with my dad to the right. In the Easter photo Virgil is on the right.

I just put my son Elliot down for a nap and I was thinking that my grandmother Laura would have done just the same with Virgil some seventy-eight years ago. Time slips and we with it. I’m going to be a pallbearer for the third time on Saturday. Rest in Peace Virgil.
