R.I.P. Uncle Jackie, sadly missed but remembered forever.
We were so lucky to see Uncle Jackie every year. He was very special to all of us and the summer won't be the same without him anymore. No longer will I be greeted with "Hello Uncle Geraldine" when we go to mum and dads, and the chair out in the backyard will seem even emptier without him. He was patient with the kids and would talk and sing with them. He would always sing to our son, "Joshua, Joshua, better than lemon squash you are, oh my gosh you are, Joshu-Joshua". Joshua is now 10 and he would still enjoy hearing Uncle Jackie sing it.
His Irish accent will be missed, along with his Irish music. He reminded us of our heritage and I don't think I'll ever forget the sound of his voice, it's just sad that we won't be able to hear it anymore.
TTFN Uncle Jackie,
Lots of love,
Geraldine, Brad, Joshua and Taliya xxxxx

Although we didn't see much of Uncle Jackie in latter years after the death of his brother Patrick, his wit and sense of mischief will be sorely misssed by us and all who new and loved him.
Uncle Jackie's annual trek from Ireland to here in Australia was something we looked forward to, but took for granted. Our kids believe all 90+ year olds travel across the world. The end of summer was always marked by mum and dad collecting Uncle Jackie from the airport in his smart trousers, white shirt, jacket and hat. He'd be armed with gifts of thick Irish socks for all of us, and all of us still wear them.
He was here for all the major events, our weddings and the birth of our kids. He taught us all Irish songs, told stories of the past, had fabulous debates, was full of mischief and had plenty of time for the youngest generation, his great-great nephew and nieces who all adored him. He loved singing after a few whiskies. The tradition of fish and chips on Sunday night will remain. I'll still get excited when I find a 'slide rule' and want to tell Uncle Jackie about it.
Early next year, I'll still expect to see Uncle Jackie sitting in sun in the backyard of mum and dads half dozing with headphones in listening to the latest audio book he's downloaded. I'll imagine I'd ask him if he'd like something to eat or a drink and i can guarantee the response the would be 'I can't understand you, you're talkin' Austraaaalian'.
We'll miss our Uncle Jackie by the bucket loads, selfishly because we know he's at peace.
Love you Uncle Jackie.
