He made it to 86, but we'll get to see him again with Jesus one day!
He was my favorite! As a kid he'd tickle me, then one year he held back because one of my cousins didn't like when he did it to them, but I reassured him that I was fine having fun with him! I also apparently surprised him when we came by that last time and I went in for a hug. He said something like "you wanna hug this old man?" And I very intentionally and convincingly answered, "YES! Yes I do!". Because, he was the best!
