My uncle "Pete" was my only uncle, and over the years, I developed a special bond with him. He was always supportive and interested in the lives of his niece and nephews. We kept in touch by phone and had many conversations, especially in the last 10 years of his life. Uncle Pete was a devoted husband and father and spoke about his family with great love and affection.
My uncle also developed a bond with my husband Brian, and it was our fervent wish that they should meet in person. Sadly, that wish did not come to pass.
I will always have fond memories of my uncle for his warmth and sense of humour. He will be sorely missed.
