  • Introduction

    Uncle Joe was our favorite uncle on the Duke side of our family! He was funny & sweet which made me adore him. He would tell us that "I wanted to marry Mary "(our mother) Mama would say"Joe you were just a little boy" Uncle Joe said" you could have waited for me!" He was the best cook &always came to get me to stay at his house when we came to Houston. Mama said"You can go but don't ask for anything!" So we stopped at the store & grocery stores & finally he said"Mary said you couldn't ask for anything not that I couldn't buy you anything!," So he bought lots of stuff which I didn't ask for but he thought I would like!

The call we got about Uncle Joe passing away is when we were told that he died because of a bite from a rattlesnake. He was mowing his yard at the time & the bite caused the heart attack! My aunts didn't want my Daddy to know because of how ill he was & afraid that his reaction would bring on a heart attack. Mama said"No" she wouldn't lie to him! I saw his reaction when his mother died but this was worse cause it was his baby brother which age never changes what you are to a person. He loved Joe so much but he pulled himself together & attended the service.

Uncle Joe and Aunt Vaucy at my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party! Her name was "Vaucyleen" & when I was little I thought her name was"Vaseline" Though I never called her that so probably the reason I was around 10 years old when I found out her real name.
