How about this for
some nice memories?
Thanks for the memories Unc.

Even though Uncle Rico is not fond of attention, there is no doubt that his success as a pro ballplayer had an effect on all of us. But more than that we hoephe knows that he was and will always be an uncle first. (or brother, dad, husband, son, etc)

Thanks for putting up with the millions of baseball questions when you probably would have rather been talking about ice cream.
