The last of the good guys

My uncle passed away yesterday. He was my godfather. He was my mother's baby brother. He found out that he had colon cancer last may. He had stomach problems for a very long time before he finally went to the doctor and when he did it was too late. He and my aunt were married for 39 years and he was 60 years old. They had 3 children and they were a very close family. During my childhood we spent a lot of time with him and his family. I have so many wonderful memories. He and my dad were buddies. I went to the hospital where the family was holding vigil. So many people loved him. He put up a good fight. He lived a good life. Rest in peace Uncle Eugene, you will be missed.
