Uncle Bob Eyes

There's a sense of humor we all share that, I believe, is unique to us. It's delivered as a tough, working mans swagger peppered with elaborately crafted nicknames (that's how I came to be known as The Chindo) in insane cartoon voices and accents.

You knew that the madness would soon begin when one of us squint our eyes into dime slots and cantilever our eybrows up in the middle. This is the tough guy face. We call it "Uncle Bob Eyes"

As Uncle Bob's youngest son, Andy was given the greatest measure of this humor and thereby was really the very best at it. His Uncle Bob Eyes were the most severe. His high shouldered stance was the most imposing. His nicknames for us were the most insane and lasting. His "SSS SSS SSS" laugh was the most infectious, and his Irishman, "Heffernan McMorganstern" was unparalleled.

Laughter ensued.
