R.I.P. Uncle Greg

I just found out today after returning home from yet another round of another new Chemo for Tami that my Uncle Greg passed away. He was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer just a short few months ago. Just like that, he is gone.

My Uncle Greg was probably one of the closest Uncles I had, he wasn't even truly an Uncle, but one of my Dad's close friends, but I always knew him as Uncle Greg. I grew up with his kids, Joanne and Brad, often staying at their house over night, or them staying at ours. He was just like my Dad in many ways, he was quite a character, and a drinker with my dad in their early years I would learn much later in life. I respected him like I did my dad, and missed them when they moved back to Manitoba with his job at Air Canada.

From there I didn't see them as much, and then as I moved out on my own, not at all. I got the random comical email from them, but not much more. Now he is gone. Tami never got to meet him, and I regret that, chalk up another of life's regrets.

Rest in peace Uncle Greg, and my condolences go out to Aunt Janet, Joanne, and Brad. I am thinking of all you.
