To my impossibly tall Uncle Bill,

Thanks for all of your love for me and everyone else in our family.

Thanks for being a teacher that reached out to many different kinds of students.

Thanks for convincing me to finish my degree.

Thanks for all the time we spent philosophizing, pondering, thinking, and talking.

Thank you for taking such good care of Aunt Doris through her chemo and radiation.

Thank you for bravely fighting your way through your own.

Perhaps what I will remember most about you is your loud, wonderful laugh. I promise that I will try to keep that in my heart forever. I know you'd give me heck if I told your age, so I'll keep it secret.

I love you very much.

Thanks so much, everyone, for all of your kind thoughts.

His passing isn't a surprise, his cancer was very aggressive. My only regret is that his last day came so quickly that I never had a chance to say goodbye...nor will I have a chance to attend the funeral tomorrow (damn bronchitis...)

While I can't be there personally with my family, I'm very deeply humbled that there are people out there that cared enough to send a fond wish to a hero that they have never met.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
