I have so many memories of Uncle Jerry Denome that I wouldn't know where to start. Early childhood with the Denome Brothers and Sister and their families gathered around dinner tables. Sumner picnics at the farm. Winter holidays in Saginaw. Denome brothers shenanigans at the farm during bird hunting season. Campfires at Black Lake. The brothers making music. Parties with all the old friends, the Fauberts, The Lovays, the Filipaks. May all the brothers and sister greet their brother as he enters his eternal rest. And may those of us on earth continue to remember them with fondness and love.
