uncle todd
 

uncle toddMy Uncle Todd used my parent?s house to store some of his construction equipment for his contracting business. He often came by early in the morning with a crew of guys to load stuff into their big 4x4's to supply various building projects. I'd usually see my Uncle as I was leaving for school. He'd greet me gladly with those big smiling eyes and a toothy grin. Todd was my Dads brother and at the age of 52, he was a successful contractor in the state where we lived. He was a muscular, six foot two inch, rough-neck with a square jaw and soft, pouty lips. He had a big, bushy moustache and close-cropped salt
