Another Tribute blog.. Why...

My Uncle Dusty- R.I.P. 7/27/2008

This blog is just to take a minute to remember a man who was such an influence on my life, who was taken unexpectedly on the 27th July 2008. A man whom I truly wish there was more time that could have been shared, however I was blessed with a solid Friendship based on Respect that was earned, Blood is Blood.


This picture was taken in front of his "Family Wall", full of pictures of those who matter the most, Family. I was lucky enough to get fired and be able to make use of my time for a trip to visit Uncle D and his wife Marina. He had a beer as I sipped my soda in his garage, before and after the tour of his home. He had huge plans, a tri-level deck, as well as finishing his basement the way he envisioned it.


Having overcome adversity and judicial unjust, muh Uncle D was the most "straight talker" I've known. I had planned on a visit next week to see him, however it seems as though this trip to DC may be cut short, and when I see him next, that the conversation will be one sided. Family was the number one thing we talked about during our 3 hour conversation this last visit, and to hear him talk about the history of our people and family, was something that could keep me listening forever.



Uncle D.. This shit didn't make sense man. We had plans.. Had to go get some of that 'Swami's Money, that Spaghetti too.. I will keep my mind open, and my ears listening. I know that there's going to be some interesting times coming up.
