My Uncle Bob.  This man means more to me than almost anyone walking on this earth.  He is more family to us than our family. Somewhere between 30 and 40 years ago, he started teasing my dad at work.  Giving him crap.  Their preferred method of conversing.  Soon, he became one of his closest friends - and eventually changed his life.  Then my mom's life.  My sisters' lives.  And mine.  There is no one like him on this earth.  And I love him with all my heart.
