RIP: Uncle John Gross

My dad's older brother, John Gross passed away recently.  It's nice to know that we will have another angel to watch over our families.  Uncle John, the age of 83 joins his wife, Joan, and son, Michael.  He leaves behind, his two daughters, Maureen, Rosemary, and son Brian. 

It's not very often that you get to witness a loving connection between two brothers.  But, I have to say this was definitely the case for my pop and his brother, John.  While Uncle John lived in NY, and pop lived in SC, the distance between them didn't seem to alter their relationship.  They did their best in keeping in touch and remaining brothers til the end.  It's unfortunate that distance, and time removes us from family ties.

May you be at peace Uncle John.  Remember, to keep the beer cold for my pop..;)

Love those glasses Grandma!
One more to miss

Oh Gail, what a great statement about my dad & his relationship with his brother, your dad, my uncle! I loved those pictures most of which I have seen before but the photo with your parents & mine I haven't seen and that has got to be one of the best I have ever seen of the four of them! Thanks! And thanks for being there.
Love ya'
