I always loved how uncle Abel treated everyone with respect. After many years of marriage, he still looked at ma tante Anita and had this twinkle in his eye, like a newlywed! He never complained even when he was suffering from the cancer in is leg several years ago. He had many family members and welcomed all with open arms. It was always a positive experience to go visit ma tante 'Nita and oncle Abel. I will miss seeing him. My sincere sympathies to tante Anita and all the family.
