ellyssianAs a child, there was one thing I looked forward to nearly as much as the visit from Santa Claus himself, and it was this: how would Uncle Richard attempt to trick that Jolly Old Elf, and, more importantly, how would the Big Guy in Red see through the tricks ~ such as a toeless stocking over a big basket ~ and what would he leave behind ~ onions? coal? Of course, we were encouraged by the other adults to side with the Bearded One, but each year what I really wanted was to see Uncle Richard succeed and get the best gifts ever, and lots of them!
As an adult, I highly suspect that the more he failed to trick Ol' Saint Nick, the more gifts he gave to everyone else, and, in turn, the more he received himself.
He will be missed.
Richard J. June, 65, of Worcester, died Friday, January 23, 2009 in Beth Israel Hospital, Boston.
