Pictures that Spark Stories

 

A perfect shot of my late Uncle Bob and Aunt Paulette, who passed away two years ago. 

From My Family Photo Album

 

My recently departed Uncle Bob with my undeparted Uncle Butch. An amazing wedding photo. Whose wedding I'm not entirely sure, and neither is my Mom. I'd guess Uncle Butch's, but I can't say for sure. I'll be tagging him to get the whole story. My uncle Bob lived most of his life not far from where the Farelly Brothers were born and raised. I so regret not being able to roast Uncle bob on one of his landmark birthdays with a special Harry and Lloyd inspired slideshow. No time to even regret. Just sit back and enjoy the memories, even if you weren't privileged enough to share them.

Uncle Bob

 

 

Robert Parenteau, my father's brother, passed away on Friday. Of all my scanned photos over the years, I'm sad to say this is the most recent scan I have of Uncle Bob. Years before he became Duke of Earl for a day. 

 

Before I'd see him most Fridays in the summer mowing my Mom's lawn and at the Y during wintertime playing volleyball. 

 

Before the Fourth of July volleyball games between his team and my Dad's, so strongly contested, it caused my Dad to buy lime and draw out a proper court.

Twice my size, three times the energy for so long. 

Hope to go over my family archives and find another photo to post soon.
