Uncle John
March 10, 2021
It has been a long time since I had seen Uncle John due to me living in Texas, Pennsylvania and some time in Richmond. I was always excited to get to see him and he never changed. He and my Dad, Ernest, started the Standard Service Station together. It was hard for Dad to travel that far so he started Esso Station on Lakeside Avenue in Henrico County. I missed Uncle John being with Dad. Uncle John, Uncle Harry and my Dad to me were the 3 musketeers.
When I was ready to buy a good car I went to see Uncle John and told him wanted the 1964 Chevy Super Sport with 4 in the floor in Daytona Blue. He smiled and told me, 'You know your Dad isn't going to sign the papers for
that car Ruth Genine.' He then walked me to the show room and showed me 1964 White Impala with stick drive. He was right and I drove out the next day with the Impala.
I loved being with all the Andrews family gatherings and Grandma Alma's great cooking was always a winner. I'd look around and there stood the 3 brothers smiling and laughing. Uncle John was always smiling. Though I have not seen him in years and never loved him any less.
Love you Uncle John. Enjoy your new Eternal Home with Christ and all
your family.
