Loved my uncle and all his quirky amazingness. He was a combat medic in Vietnam, and later became a registered nurse specializing in geriatrics. He was a chuck wagon cook, active in his VVA, and had wonderful friends in addition to an awesome wife and daughters. He was a lifelong learner - from tying flies for fishing to playing the clarinet to tending his bonsais to reading to gardening to so much more, he was a wealth of knowledge and experiences. I will miss him so much.
