Today was a very bitter sweet day i attended the services of one of the most wonderful man i had the pleasure of knowing my uncle Don.I remember growing up and as a young kid we would come into Racine to see my grandparents and i would run over to his house so i could play with my cousin.I would just walk in just like i lived there and was always greeted with smile and very firm handshake ,me and my cousin surely tested his patience and if we messed up i got a kick in the butt just like his boys there was now faveortism there.As i got older i would sit and listen to the stories he would tell about my family and friends some of the stories i heard more then once but i didnt mind listening again it always made him smile and happy so it was worth it every time.I never followed him into the family business but i did see and watched how hard he worked to make a living for his family and himself and i gave that man all the respect i had and deserved.So in closing my uncle Don may be gone in body but never in spirit and in my heart.So till we meet again love you your nephew Eric
