Polish people are generally a tight knit group but Uncle Walt was the exception. He loved everybody, no matter what. Never heard a negative word out of the Man's mouth.
Needless to say, in later years we never saw eye to eye. Such is life.
I idolized the man. He was my genetic God, bar none. AND he drank G&T's, just like me!
Uncle Walt, I'm sorry I suck at golf. I'm sorry I didn't get to be a Veterinarian like you. I'm sorry I didn't get to hang with you more than I did.

I love my Uncle Walt. Never did a man stand taller! He bought rounds for the bar no matter where he was. A true HERO, Patriot, and good man!!
My Favorite Relative- Thanks Uncle Walt
