Uncle Dick

My grandma is the most amazing person I knew. They always say that you don't know how good you have it until it is gone. I agree with that 100% and I also wish I would have asked her more questions about her family and her life. On a positive note, I did know a couple of my grandmas brothers and one that I was particularly close to was Richard Piper (Uncle Dick). I have many memories of Uncle Dick. When I was 13, my grandma and I went to Seattle for Thanksgiving to see Uncle Dick and we had Thanksgiving dinner at the space needle. Later on in life Uncle Dick moved to Battle Mountain to be closer to his sister, my grandma. We spent many holidays together. Uncle Dick died on December 15, 2014. Through the amazing Internet and Facebook one of my grandma's brothers reached out to me and has been sending me photos. What a blessing! Here are some photos of Uncle Dick.




Here are some photos of my grandma's dad:
My grandma's step mom - Margo. My grandma always talked fondly of Margo.

Here are a couple pictures of my amazing grandma. Love you GG!

Wow, what neat pictures! I especially love the one of your Grandma in the beautiful dress. Do you know what the occasion was? These are a great legacy.
