The world lost an amazing man today, and I lost one of my favorite people in the world. I am so sad to announce the death of my favorite uncle – Dr. Robert Burns. Some of you have met him at my house, and everyone that knew him loved him – we sure did. He has always been such an important part of my family – my childhood and my adult life. I’ll never forget our walks, and how he called me “Hopscotch”. He was my father’s best friend, and my husband’s favorite dinner guest, and just my favorite all around. We’ll miss him more than he probably realized.
I will be leaving for Iowa for the funeral on Thursday and won’t be back until Sunday, so if you are waiting on proofs or an order from me, I apologize for the delay.
Here is a picture that I took a couple of years ago of Uncle Bob and Carlos, his seeing eye dog.
