Sorry about Seldon. We were good friends. I always had a great time every time he gave me a haircut. I loved his sense of humor . We had a lot of laughs together.

I am so sorry. He was a friend, and a good man.
My wonderful Uncle, there’s not enough room here to express all I’d love to say about my Uncle Seldon.
I am however able to sum it all in one word. “LOVE”
