This was my Uncle Dan. He and his brother, my Uncle Phil, had a lot of influence in the values they taught me. I can remember Dan & Phil throwing me to each other. I had to be no older than 3 years old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I am 64 now and despite my Mothers objections I loved every minute of it.
When I was in my early teens, I would go down to Houston and spend the summer with my Grandmother Nellie, Uncle Dan, and Uncle Phil. My Uncle Dan taught me how to mow his yard. And if I missed a spot, he would make me get the lawnmower out again and clean up what I missed. I have always loved, and been very proud of both Uncle Dan and Uncle Phil.
I could go on like this all day long, but this gives you all a thump nail sketch of the influence both of them had on my life. You had also better not put money down while dove hunting with Uncle Dan. He would take it every time if you did.
My Dear Cousin Laura, and Lance, I want you both to know how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your Daddy. I really can’t express it any better than that.
The one thing that we all know for sure is that Uncle Dan left that old worn out body for a brand new one that is imperishable. That he is not only with our Lord Jesus Christ, but he has been reunited with all of our loved ones who passed before him. That he now is a fellow heir with our Lord Jesus, and will be for eternity to come.
May Our Father in Heaven comfort each and every one of you during this time of your loss.
God Bless You All & All of Yours Laura, Lance, and my dear Uncle Phil.
I love you all very much,
Your Cousin Tim & Cathy Stewart
We miss you Danny.
Your AA Friends.
Keep trudging the road of happy destiny, Danny. Say hello to God for me.
