My Beloved Uncle and Godfather, I had the pleasure to have you in my life. You mean so much to me and I cannot believe that you are gone. We always shared a very close relationship. Not too many Uncle's could ask their neice "Hey Baby, what's shakin'"! I wish that I could hear that just 1 more time. You knew me well and your little smirk and laughter will forever remain within me. I have so many pictures and fond memories of our time together in BC along with your other 2 brothers. You were so funny. We would all walk along the ocean (countless times) looking for starfish and crabs. And, yes, we found many! Julia was so happy and she too loved you, more than you know. I remember the one day that you suggested a restaurant for lunch. I questioned it, not really knowing where you were taking us. But, that was probably the best fish dinner that I had ever had! You knew. We were all so full afterwards that we could hardly walk back to the car. And Mark, or as you called him "Potato Head". He thought you were the cream of the crop. You's 2 would have so much fun picking at each other (all harmless fun....he misses you too. It saddens him that the one relative of mine that he adored is now gone. Boy did you guys click! Still, to this day, I can't figure out how you came up with that nickname for him. It makes me laugh! Now, you are gone and we are left to suffer the loss of a great man. A man that left a very deep impact in our lives. We will miss you terribly but will NEVER forget you. We love you, we mourn you and now we are going to celebrate your life......as hard as it is going to be. Forever Yours, Your Niece and family, Annette, Mark and Julia Sherbourne xoxoxo
