Step down, brother. That’s all.*

He died quietly, holding my aunt L.’s hand. Whatever pain he might have been in finally ended at 7:53pm EDT. May he rest in peace my smart, kind, loving uncle.

Charles Enoch Barrick
November 21, 1946 – December 26, 2005

He was loved by many and will be missed greatly and for at least as long as I live.

* “Step down, brother. That’s all” is what my grandmother would tell him as a toddler after she was done feeding him in the highchair. It’s the first thing he ever said.
