Death and sadness

Death is part of the year of turning fifty, even as it starts.

My dear Uncle Pete (PJ deGravelles Jr) passed away this last weekend. You can read his obituary here.

He was quite a fellow. Always nice to the nieces and nephews. He ran a tight ship on his sugar plantation. He was old school, there was no doubt about that.

I am driving over with my wife and sister to the funeral tomorrow.

More from there.
