Default My last uncle passed yesterday.



Joe Bishop Obituary - Universal City, TX | Express-News

One of the worst things about getting old, loved ones start leaving us. Gonna miss him. He was responsible for my love of USAF aircraft.

Sounds like he had a good life and stayed busy.

We grew up with them always being there, and when they go, they leave that big hole in our lives. The more that leave us, the emptier things get.

Prayers for you all.

Sorry you lost your uncle; he sounds like a good man who'll be missed by many.

Your comment about getting older is so true. Our older-generation relatives are all gone, and we've lost some friends & family of our own generation. Lots of good memories though.

Yes it's so sad to one day have them just not be there.
So sorry for your loss.

Your Uncle Joe looked like a cool guy. Sorry for your loss. I was telling my wife just this past weekend that we need to do better visiting our family here in Ga. They are close by, and we are close family. My Uncle Frank is next in age to my Mom who passed last October. He and my Aunt Evelyn are doing well, but when you are old, things happen fast. It's hard for me to imagine things any different than how they are, but time marches on, and I know that at any second things could be totally different. I'm certainly not trying to sound morbid, as I know my older relatives will start dropping like flies, and my generation is next on the list. At last, we must spend as much valuable time around people that mean the most to us, because it too will come to pass. It is tough leaving from the beach every year knowing that something could happen to one of your older relatives before the next beach trip. It brought a tear or two when we were leaving this past summer from Pawleys Island SC, a place I've spent countless hours on the beach through at least 4 decades.

I hope and pray that we may all get a few more good years out of each other before it turns ugly again....and again.

There comes a point in your life where more get's taken away than given.
