As a kid, I didn't have a very close relationship with my Uncle Ty. He was always this big strong guy that towered over me at family events. Over the years that began to change. As a teenager, I developed sarcasm and suddenly I found myself riffing back and forth with him. We would have some clever banter and always end with smiles on our faces. Then as I became a man and started my businesses, he would always ask questions about how things were going. I think his entrepreneurial spirit resonated with mine and we would talk shop while still occasionally teasing each other. But through it all, I still saw him as that strong guy I saw as a kid. I'm really going to miss our holiday conversations. I'm praying for the whole family and give my deepest sympathies.
