And my Dad has lost a sister and three brother-in-laws already. They were all of an age it's not surprising to lose... but Malc was the youngest uncle, he didn't really feel like he was of an older generation than me at all. I remember when i was just a kid, he was still just "dating" my aunt Glenys. He used to lend me his comics.
R.I.P. Malc.
Death claims us all. Am of the age where I no longer have grandparents. My late grandfather was the oldest of 11, only 4 of his 10 siblings are still shuffling around. My parents are retired, and have had health scares. RIP Malc, and let us always remember to mention the fallen, lest they be the forgotten.
