In light and love, your sister Mary.
Mortimer Schnerd. That was what I called you.
Reading Jenny's memory made me smile. I was also one of the quiet kids. But I loved you because you were the cigar smoking, drum playing uncle wearing my mom's fur hat that made me smile. I could sit behind you and live vicariously and knew you would wink at me and share a smile. And you gave me a dose of courage.
I loved Sunday at your house with Aunt Carol's pungent kitchen full of goodies and your gruff tone as you read the paper in the living room and asked me "What is happening, Reenie?" Finally all the kids old enough to be out and playing and then I show up to spoil the quiet time with your brother. But it never felt that way, it always felt like I always was needed.
Big hug Mortimer....
May you Rest In Peace, Uncle Mort. You’ll always be a beloved Uncle in my heart who understood how shy I was as a child. Inevitably, during the boisterous holiday get-together’s, I would always seek out wherever you were because I knew it would be somewhere a little quieter. I would sneak next to your chair, and we’d watch Clint Eastwood movies together, you reading a newspaper, an unlit cigar clenched in your teeth. It was always so relaxing to sit next to an adult who didn’t ask me a million questions or tell me to ‘go play’. We would sit in companionable silence, happy to be surrounded by lots of love and laughter, but just needing that little buffer of space. Many of us will be feeling the loss of someone who was always good to us when we were quirky kids. I’ll always love you, Uncle Mort. Peace be with you. - Jenny Beck Kaisoum
