My mother thought my humor was similar to his, which was evident in that she frequently called his name when she was addressing me.

The thoughts my uncle has listed here were published fairly recently in an Army related retiree's group which my uncle was Chaplain. The group was called the ASA Chitose Association and is a social group consisting of veterans that were at one time or another stationed in Japan and wanted to keep in touch following their service.

How fortunate that you had him in your experience. What a gift he was to you and you must have been a delight to him I am sure. You come from good stock, my friend.
May your beloved Uncle be at rest and peace in his job well done.
