Uncle died last night. He spent much of yesterday asking what time it was. I'm pretty sure he was trying to time his departure to make it easier for Aunt.
He visited today as Aunt tried to remember the name of the catering service she was trying to remember. She said, "I never remember the name, I always ask Uncle." I said, "Ask him now." Then she remembered.
Here's what I can tell you- when we were little he did magic tricks- when we went to the beach he bought squeaky bird puppets that made us laugh for hours- when he hid the afikomen at Passover it was always under his plate-when people needed a defense attorney in Steubenville, he was there and if they couldn't pay he would charge them less-
We are sad and going to miss him but that's the way life goes.

I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. I too lost my favorite uncle, last November. It's been almost a year, but I found myself thinking of him and feeling really really sad last night. I know they are both in a much better place though - not suffering any more. I'm sending along big hugs to you.
