Poem for Uncle John

You Were the first son of John and Winifred

You made them so proud, yes you did.

Joined the Navy in 41' not sure of the date

You became a Naval Aviation Machinist Mate.

After traveling to San diego, Florida and Hawaii too

You met beautiful Mary and wed in 52'

Settling in San Diego with your beautiful wife

You began having children oh what a wonderful life

your family grew as you settled in

Patty, Rob, Sharon and Tim

You retired from the Navy in 61'

Ready to spend more time with your daughteres and sons

Retired, oh what should you do?

Cleaning offices and taking care of your mom too!

Collecting newspapers was a hobby you had

Kind of reminds me of your wonderful dad!

Married to your beautiful Mary for 65 years

I'm sure there was laughter tacked on to some tears

Uncle John a long fulfilled life was given to you

Every ray of light will be your love shining through
