Jamie,
Although he has not yet passed, you must already be feeling terribly deep loss for your uncle, father and self. If there were anything holy within my power that I could do to personally guide you through this surreal time, I would. Nevertheless, I am always available to talk about this or to just to shoot-the-****- if just to distract you for a while. Please feel free to call or email 24/7. I will be up for a long while tonight. In the meantime, know well that you and your family have my prayers that God give you and you receive the strength to take care of one another and to lessen your angst and grief.
Robert
P.S. I think that posting this on the political board where you hang out, was a fine thing to do,
