Another thing about my uncle who passed this week….
A great story teller and humorist my uncle. A very classy man, and a man of God, but not in an in your face religious way—just a quite knowing way, which attracted people to God, without having to say much. Some people just live the gospel rather than talk about it! He was like that.
Plus, he wore the coolest suits (at the end, Italian mostly!) and had style, not to mention was a master woodworker. They don’t make em like that anymore! Thankful for my Uncle Reid today. Some folks set the bar up by how well they live and end. He did!
He was one of those who walked a long way in the same direction, and had integrity—one of those old words of character, which have become rarer these days.
I would add genuine to that list of accolades as well. Authentic, before authenticity was popular! Good listener and conversationalist…I could go on! And he had character and was one!
A good man is hard to find, one who lived the same onstage as off. He was one. Look forward to visiting him again in his Master’s woodwork studio above!
Happy travels, Uncle Reid!
We’ll fish again together soon, I’m sure.
I love celebrating people, but some people are easier than others to like and love. I would write an endorsement on the back of my uncle’s life book!
Each person is a poem worth considering forever! He was and is a good one.
I could write about how cool people are forever. We are each biographies in God’s Autobiography! And he was and is one worth reading.
