Cry Uncle
Last of ten brothers and sisters passed
Always optimistic
A second father
He gave me his old phonograph
Or desktop or laptop
Helped me with any technical issue
Always had a simple answer
That usually worked
Years of color coding at NBC paid off
Took us to a beer garden monorail
In 1966 when we arrived in Los Angeles
Proud of his boat home
An open invitation to each subsequent home
In Las Vegas, Manhattan, or Palm Springs
A deep connection to my dad that died 52 years ago
Strong family ties knitting together coasts
His spirit will linger
A Blitz like no other
