Forgot to mention one really remarkable weather prediction that Uncle made for us (Cuz Carol and John)...there were four hurricanes that hit our area a few years back and in each instance we turned to Uncle to tell us what to do...well, when the Weather Channel was telling us to evacuate....Uncle was telling us to stay put and in one instance when the weather channel told everyone to go North (where they all ended up getting hit with tornados) Uncle told us to go South where the hurricane was coming from....guess what??HE WAS RIGHT!!! so because of all his experience and expertise in predicting the course of the storms (without a computer I might add) we were saved from lots of evacuation costs and stress. I always said that the Weather Channel should have called him about these Florida storms. He also did a FANTASTIC job for the Quaker Oats Co. back in the 70's by predicting weather for their corn corps!! WAY TO GO MY SWEET UNCLE...I'll be lost this hurricane season without you...send me a sign!!

My dear sweet Uncle Benny...all those great memories from childhood of taking us kids to the Treat Shop on Sunday's when you came over to Busha's...for all those really special little baby dresses Mom said you bought for me...for being such an important part of my childhood and life..for being the mysterious Santa on Christmas Eve (you had me fooled till I was 25...) Uncle's like you will never be forgotten and will remain in my heart till it's my turn to join you folks...save a spot at the dinner table for me. Special love forever, Carol (the Old Bat's daughter)

Paul,
Though I never got the chance to meet your father, I know he must have been a great guy because look at who you have become. He was lucky to have you for a son. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know you've had an emotional few years, I will pray for peace for you now.
Take care my friend.
Love, Julie

Dear Paul...I know it's been a very long journey. You took great care of your parents and your dad along with you took great care of your mom. That is real love and real dedication. I will miss your dad's spot on predictions for the seasons....which were usually correct to the day. Blessings to you in your sorrow . You were blessed to have wonderful parents.
