For the Love of Us All

A FAMILY STORY

“A Shot and a Beer”            ( John and the cemetery  )

My Uncle John is/was one of the most family oriented people in my life.  He stood

By my family, and me, through every family situation.

My Uncle John had this tradition of remembering his Mother and Father, my Father

After he died, and many other family members.  Each December, he would drive to

The cemetery, and at each grave, have a shot of whiskey and/or a shot of beer, depending

On how he felt.

I was with him and his wife, Karen, a few times when they did this.  Kimberly, his

Daughter, was there too.  Uncle John died in 2006.  But when I get

Back to Pittsburgh, Uncle John, I’ll be by, and I’ll have one for you.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert P. Wallman
