With love for Uncle Jerry

A sad day in blog-ville today. My uncle Jerry died last night in Lansing, MI.
Our thoughts are with aunt Phyllis and all my cousins, Teri, Tim, Eric, Lisa, Mary Ellen, and Steve, and their kids.
I talked with him briefly last Sat. Interrupted his watching the MSU football game. (they won) He was excited because after that game, the Spartan basketball team was playing on tv. A great day at the Laatsch house. I would have loved to have been there.

There is a guy that walks the neighborhood. Once in a while I see him thru the windows when I'm on a machine at the gym. Reminds me of Jerry. Ball cap, khaki shorts, sneaks, white sox, not so tall, tanned, just a cool looking guy.


Laatsch family (Mary Ellen is missing from this shot)


He and Phyllis were always the biggest fans of their kids, and grandkids (and me) playing sports. We played some great hoop games in their driveway.

Teri tries to convince him of something.. not sure he's buying.
