Topaz, Family & Memories

041509: My Uncle Bill & My Aunt Rosalie

(My dad's older brother) Every year they vacationed at Topaz Lake bringing all their children, who now have families and vacation at the Park themselves.

Since 1996, Uncle Bill has not been with us but memories of him live on, live strong. His grandson, Jeff, lovingly and proudly restored Uncle Bill's boat and brought it to Topaz last year. We posed his boat and his brother/my dad's boat next to each other (respectively) and took some photos. With most of the family on the beach that day, many of us had tears in our eyes.

I miss my Uncle Bill. (I miss his laugh.)
