My Uncle Peter died today. He was the oldest of 3 sons to Wally and Ruth Lindquist, my grandparents. My father is the youngest and now last living member of this family group.
I will always remember my Uncle Peter fondly. He was the laid back one in the group. Ready to wrestle me as I was a Tom Boy child. I found Uncle Peter fun and funny. My last memories of Uncle Peter are at my Grandfather's memorial service. A young adult (early 20s) at the time I read a poem, stating my prophesy that my Poppa Wally was the link that held this family together and that now that he was gone, I feared this chain would fall apart. I was right. I never saw my Uncles again. (I am now 45).
I remember and loved the tourquoise and silver watch he wore, but also his smile. In the photo above, he looks a lot like his father.
