I am so sorry to hear about your uncle...my condolences. :(
I had the pleasure of meeting your uncle at the PDAC in March in TO, and we had a wonderful chat. He explained to me why he chose his agoracom handle...apparently he had a visegrip for a handshake during his younger years. (He took it easy on me when we shook hands, being a woman, thanks Vise.)
Andy, I will never forget your wonderful uncle and his kind handshake! :)
Take care,
MGB
