UNCLE (by marriage)

I know little about Uncle Bills childhood. I remember that he and Aunt Sis lived in San Antonio for as long as I've been alive (I was born in 1960). I'm guessing that they lived in the area for many years before I came along. Aunt Sis raised my mom. She and Uncle Bill were a big part of our lives. He was always smiling and making jokes. A very mild mannered and gentle man. Also very loving.

Uncle Bill and Aunt Sis had 2 sons and a daughter. Their daughter died very young.

SONS:
Arthur Bernard 1929 - 2001
Joe Charles 1937 - 2010

I do remember that Uncle Bill was related (cousins I think) to Tommy and Lonnie Jenkins.
