Friday Photo Flashback

I’m guessing today’s photo is from somewhere between 1987-1992.  I don’t recall where the photo was taken. I’m going to guess it’s a wedding or some family event.

The picture is of my dad, my Uncle Tom, and me.  This is another photo that I am unaware of who took it. 

We’re all wearing a coat and tie, which is why I believe it was a family function.  It also looks like it was taken in a hall.  I say that because the “wall” behind us looks like one of those walls that fold up to make a room bigger or two create a smaller room.

I’m guessing that we knew the picture was being taken, as my dad and uncle are looking at the camera.  I also assume that because my uncle looks like he’s making an Italian hand gesture and I’m….well, I don’t know what I’m doing.

It was always a hoot when we got together with my uncle. He’s not a blood uncle, but he was my dad’s friend since they were kids, so he was like an uncle. (He was also my Godfather.) The two of them together always led to memories that still make me laugh.

By the looks of this photo, this is probably the beginning of the event.  With a few alcoholic beverages, you can bet the evening would get much more humorous.

My uncle passed away a few years ago.  He always had a joke to tell and his laugh could be heard over a crowd of people.  I miss him.
