My Uncle Ellwood died on February 15th, 2008, after a long illness. He was my mother's brother. I remember he used to take my brother Mike and I places when we were little. There's one story about him taking us to a fishing tournament and we wouldn't share our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with him. When I got older, the first thing he always said to me was "When are you going to get that hair cut?" He was a good guy.
There was a memorial service for him today at Beacon Baptist Church in White Marsh. It was a nice ceremony, followed by a luncheon in the church basement. Everybody in the family who lives in town was there, plus Dennis and his gang from West Virginia. With Ellwood's death, that leaves only Mom and Bucky left from her family. Bucky was a no show and probably doesn't even know Ellwood died.
