"Rest easy uncle. It?s been a long time but what I remember most is going to the dog race?s at bluffs run!!!! When you hit a big one I went with you every day and bet the same as you hoping to hit another one with you well it didn?t happen but I had so much fun and learned how to bet those dogs!! Tell my dad I live and miss him! Rest in heaven ?"
