Uncle Dubby
UNCLE DUBBY
I’ll tell you who Uncle Dubby is
The true backbone of our family
The root of where it all began
The beginning of our family tree
First with the name he was called
Born as Winfred James you see
Going by his initials WJ or just Dub
I always knew him as Uncle Dubby
Back in the day when he was young
He sang in a boys’ choir with my dad
Uncle Dubby’s girlfriend was Patsy
And Nellie was the little sister she had
Well my dad was introduced to Nellie
That’s how our family became to be
Uncle Dubby the beginning backbone
Our family is still creating the history
My Uncle Dubby is greatly missed
Such a wonderful loving family man
With my Aunt Pat for over 66 years
Standing by her side hand in hand
Always there for his children
In everything they would do
He sure loved his grandchildren
And the great grandchildren too
That horrible virus took his life
His loss was devastating to us all
He has taken his place in Heaven
Leaving happy memories to recall
Known as a strong Christian man
Is how the memories of him will be
Always showing the love of Christ
A Godly man was my Uncle Dubby
