I hope it was a bitter sweet day of sharing memories

That it was. I learned a lot about my Dad and Uncles childhood growing up in the 50's and 60's....

And thanks again for all the comments and support. I know I have probably missed some people.

I know I don't speak for everyone here but I think I have an idea. Anyone here will understand if you missed a comment. You have more important things to worry about, like his memory.

Thinking back on Uncle Noon. I miss him.

Good friends and family are always there with us and on our minds all the time.

And some days are worse than others when missing them, hold on to the special memories.

The best way we can honor someone is to never forget them

My Uncle passed away this afternoon. He is the one I have been making wine with. A lot of you may not know him. He is also the one that introduced me to SMF. He did not post much, but spent time here learning about smoking through the archives. Here is his post on the get to know you thread:

He had been in a lot of pain the last year with multiple health issues. It all finally caught up with him. He died peacefully with his immediate family near-by. I'm glad I was able to spend so much time with him the last year or so. We had a lot of laughs, made some wine, whined about some spilled wine, and enjoyed a good many bottles together cooking and fiddling with projects only an old man could dream up. R.I.P. Unlce Noon, you will be missed....

Sorry for your loss. Now it's up to you to be sure to pass on what he taught you about wine as well as stories of times you shared with him. In doing so, he lives on through you and others.

He was a good friend to you , as well as a teacher .

Some folks in our life leave such an impact and when they are gone… that creates such a void in our life. But carrying on the methods and practices that they pass down and teach us will carry on a legacy for them that we can be proud of. And Keith, I know he smiles down on you a lot for your gaining of his knowledge that he passed on to you and you keeping that legacy of his going! I have no doubt Uncle Noon is very proud of you!
