Uncle, thanks for a lifetime of love and laughter....Its so hard to say goodbye to you but I know you are in a better place and you are chillin with Granny.  Wow, there are too many stories to tell in this small amount of space.  As a child I thoroughly enjoyed our road trips to St. Louis for family reunions and you waking me up and saying, "Deni, pass me a cold one baby."  Of course I will never forget your favorite Dish you seem to be eating everytime I talked to you "Goolash!"   You were my basketball idol growing up and I remember Dad taking me to your bball games and we were cheering you on.  Our best trip however was Vegas.  Me, you and Dad lived it up and partied with Gladys Knight.  This is where our famous saying was found...."Max, make me laugh!!!  Unc, I will truly miss you but you will  forever live in my heart.  I Love You.   Deni
