A Man in his Element...

This is my Uncle Mike. He was not related by blood, but my father considered him to be a brother, and I considered him that cool uncle who liked a lot of guns. He crafted holsters for my father a while back. This is a picture of him "in his element" as my father used to say.

Photo taken by JS sometime in 2010.

July 8th of this year, 2024, marked nine years since his untimely passing of a massive heart attack while on a morning walk with a neighbor. Not a day goes by where I don't miss him. Even though I didn't know him as much as my father did, I can still feel him inside when I watch NCIS (he used to give me DVD sets every christmas)

I love you, uncle Mike!
