I’ll never forget you're aunt Fay not telling me that Barry also had a twin... I kept thinking It was always Barry... until the one day they were both standing right next me .. one on each side!!! Always a joker Barry was!!! Sorry for your loss to each and everyone of you!!! â€Å"Girlfriend†Dawn!!
Robbie, he did with you what he did with my kids and my brother’s kids. He tried to make right his absence in our young years through loving you, his twin brother’s son as his own, and supporting us as adults raising our children and loving us the best he could. He was not absent when we needed the kids picked up, or to borrow money, or work on our cars. He loved us, and at the end, that’s all that matters to me. I love you cousin.
Thank you Melysa. Your words are comforting and familiar to me. I appreciate the sentiment.
** This is something that was shared with me today as I cried and talked all morning to my fiancé about how to get through this time. This is what should have been said for my father at his eulogy. I love you pop** I wanted to speak at your father's funeral but I could not formulate the thoughts. I have always been a better writer than a speaker, but I did not take the time to wite this down and I guess better late than never. Had I mustered the courage and the words they would have been these: He came into my life shortly after I lost my own father. Like my own dad and I guess any man, he had his demons but I did not know them. I knew him as a man who was there when I needed advice, be it fixing my truck or life in general he would offer a solution or at least an opinion. He was old when I met him and was was no polished diamond , but we spent time together at weddings, funerals and at his place. We watched old westerns and loved Maverick, and I know jt would irritate him when I thought I knew who an actor was and he would pick up the remote and click on the guide so we could see who was starring in a show. It irritated hi., but he still did it. He came to our house for our first Thanksgiving where we had a table big enough for all of us to sit at, he fell asleep in front of the fire, like all grandfathers, like my own grandfathers did after our meal and it took my mind back to my own childhood . It is part of what family is about and your children will hold it as they get older in a warm corner of their mind. He loved his grandchildren and his children, but he cherished his relationship with you. You made his last years happier and he left us knowing he was loved. I wish I would have said this at his funeral, but I did not. I am sorry for that, but putting this in words helped me express my condolences to you as I should have last week. I will miss him.
Always had that warm smile and friendly greeting! Will miss seeing you on the back porch with your grandchildren or turning wrenches in the driveway next door :')
This past May my Uncle Berry called me as I was taking my wife to work at 7:45 a.m. When I went back to pick her up at 12:15 p.m. we were still on the phone and we enjoyed that morning together very very much so I will forever miss him as I miss his identical twin and my father Larry..!! I love you Always Uncle B...!!! ðŸ˜Â May you enjoy your time yet again with Dad working on old cars.!!ÂÂ
