"Is that right?" That's the phrase I most associate with my Uncle Drew. Sometimes, I think, he meant it ironically. Sometimes mockingly. Sometimes as a challenge. And, also, sometimes he meant it sincerely. In my experience, he was a man of few words, and many of those few words could be taken in many different ways. He kept me on my toes, and liked to tease, and I appreciated that. Even if I didn't always know what he meant by, "Is that right?', here's what I know for sure: He worked hard. He was honest. He was a patriot. He had opinions. He was stubborn. He was independent. He was kind of shy. He had good manners. He had good morals. He loved my Aunt Maureen beyond measure. He loved and was proud of all my Durkin cousins and all the Durkin grandchildren. He loved God. He built a business. He built a family. He lived a long life. He lived a good life. If he were reading this, he might tilt his head and ask, "Is that right?" And I'd have to reply: "Yeah, Uncle Drew; that's right. You did well. You left a legacy. You will be remembered."
