My Uncle Jimmy was a wonderful fun-loving man and a large presence in my younger life. I remember he would always fix us large bowls of popcorn and let us kids camp out in the living room to watch movies. His family had the first Atari we had ever seen. They had a pony in their backyard for a time.
