Spork Queen
My last surviving uncle of my grandmother's 18 children passed away this morning. He was 90. He suffered from pignatism his entire life. That's tough when you're a farmer and have to be outdoors al the time. He always wore full clothing, gloves and a face mask even in the heat of the summer. No one expected him to live this long.
My fondest memory of him was being a little girl when he'd ask me to step on his feet and he'd dance with me. My saddest is when the flood of 1972 came through and literally swept their house downstream a couple of miles. He lost his collection of antique cars, HUGE collection of cookoo clocks and his babies...homing pigeons. They kept trying to come home, but the home was gone.
Never heard the man utter a bad word. He was always happy.
