Just found out that my uncle Andy is not expected to live throughout the night. I know very little about his ailment, only that he's been very ill for quite some time, and Thursday night his body began shutting down.
Andy was a good uncle. I was never as close to him as I am my uncle Tim or Ridge, but he was always kind and thoughtful. My most vivid memories of the man are at the card table. Even though he was a dreadful bridge player and we savaged him brutally at the table, he played with a smile, just happy to play and enjoy the company of his family.
I'll miss his upbeat manner and his ready laugh, even if we really only saw one another once a year.
Redouble.
