Denver, CO Monday, February 15, 2010 "Uncle Chick"--as we used to call him--was my favorite uncle. (And that was not lessened ONE BIT by the fact that he was our only uncle!) I have many fond memories of him from when I was a child, when our family would visit Uncle Chick and Aunt Marie's family. These were wonderful wonderful folks-- and my heart goes out to Gary, Dave and Gregg and their families. All good wishes and hugs from me and my family too.
