My Uncle Al (Now glad to know that his name is actually Alex :) ) was always a gentle man and dedicated to family. He will always be pictured in my mind with a fishing pole in his right hand and a beer in his left and a pipe dangling from his mouth with a war veteran hat on. He was patriotic and loving, sweet and funny. I remember he tried to give me some black licorice one time because it looked good and never tried it. I took one bite and spit it out. All he could do was chuckle and said that black licorice was good. The following summer, he brought me a box of Good and Plenty, just as he promised. He put a few pieces in my hand and said that I should try it. After a couple of chews, I spit it out because I didn't know there was black licorice in it. Again, he laughed. And he said that it was okay that I at least tried it and put it away. I will miss that man. Love you Uncle Alex!!
