What can I say that you don't know? My Uncle Tino was a true MAN. He LIVED his life, he DID things, he was part of what was going on, not just an observer. He took care of his family-ALL of them-as best he could. I loved him more than I ever told him, and he inspired me to live my life strongly and do whats right for my family. I didn't see him-or the rest of my family- as often as I would have liked, but he said he understood how life can get in the way. I'll miss his advice, opinions, ever-abundant humor, and his conviction. Our family was blessed to have someone like him in it. It's taken me a while to work through losing him, and we all miss him, but I'd rather have known him and lost him, than not had him at all. Yeah it hurts-but that only means he was real, our love for him was real, and he had an impact on us all. It's supposed to hurt, because knowing him was so good. He once told me he was proud of me, of what I do. I have always been proud to be his nephew. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU UNCLE TINO.
