Related: About this forumMy uncle Ed passed away a couple hours ago.
Big Norwegian fella. He married my aunt (she's also my godmother). He was a good man, and I will miss him.
I don't know what's on the other side, and his suffering is over.
He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.

Both their grown children lived there.
