I miss you Corky. I miss teasing you about the mistakes. I miss sitting at the table listening to you count out loud. I miss your complaining about the incompetent help we have. I miss hearing you whistle as you wait for the boxes to arrive to count. Thank you for being such a wonderful brother. Thank you for being such a special uncle to my children. We love you.

I miss him a lot, as we all do. But on the other hand, she had warts, so she bought an adding machine because it all counts up. Uncle Corky was so very special, that’s a for sure.

Otherwise, I was afraid it would be read as a long or short "i."
