My uncle passed away last month. He was my mom’s older brother, Uncle Harold. We didn’t know him very well as he was a bit of a recluse, but we’d see him for an evening every couple of years. He was always kind to my boys and really loved Trouble and Daisy.
Uncle Harold wasn’t married and had no children, so my mom and my aunt traveled (with my brother, Tony) to Big River, CA to settle his affairs, pack up his house, sell his truck, and arrange for his body to be brought back to Utah for burial. He’s buried near my dad.
There was just a small graveside service that my family and a few of my mom’s friends attended. It was cold and snowy!
The boys were very well behaved. I think it was their first funeral. Maybe. Probably.
Bobby got a bit cold, but Uncle Tim warmed him up!
After the service, some longtime family friends arranged a luncheon for our family. And after the nice food, Uncle Dan taught the boys some basketball moves!
