My memories of Martin J. Carberry, Jr.
Known to the family as Uncle Peter, he had a great sense of humor. Along with his 2 brothers, Uncle Francis and Uncle Kenny, they always provided great entertainment at family gatherings at Christmas and other occasions. My mom, Joan Carberry Delker, was Uncle Peter's sibling and the youngest child of the 4 siblings. Their Dad was Martin J. Carberry, Sr., who was a Baltimore City policeman and later, after a work accident, was also a machinist.
Uncle Peter had 2 children, both girls. Due to divorce, I never knew his first daughter. His second daughter, Patricia, my cousin, was about 12 years older than me.
When Uncle Peter had his first stroke, he came to live with my family during his recovery. I remember sitting in our kitchen as a child, about 8 years old, helping him with his speech. I also remember a school field trip to Gwynn Oak Park in Woodlawn that Uncle Peter went to with my mom and myself. I talked Uncle Peter into going on the Wild Mouse ride. He didn't really like it.
