“Unk” as he was affectionally known was my mother’s brother. From my birth to his death he played a magnificent part in my life. Loving family member, wonderful friend to many, world explorer, the Rhode Island version of a bon vivant, great chemist, wonderful teacher, and a man who took great
pride in his heritage. Shaped by world events outside his control…genocide, world wide economic depression, world wars, and regional wars
he thrived. He loved his parents, his sisters, nephews and nieces and grand nephews and grand nieces and great grand nieces and great grand nephews.
We often traveled together to social events and professional meetings. Ah the stories he told. Ah the life he lived.
I would spend at least a week with him each summer at the Beach in Rhode Island.
And I was but a small part of his life. He did what he choose to do. He lived his life to the best that God gave him the strength and the wisdom to live.
God rest his soul and grant peace to all who he loved.
