I'll never forget the day I first met Uncle Big Head...
When my parents (Bill and Debra Scarfe) took us up to Lac La Ronge one summer, they told us that we would be meeting a new Uncle and that his name was Uncle Big Head. Well, I sat in my seat for some time before we arrived, puzzling over what I had just heard. I thought that I must have miss heard his name. And so when I did finally meet him, I was very sure to pronounce and announciate my words carefully, as I was very little at the time. I said it's nice to meet you Uncle Big Ed! Well he just shook his head and said "Well... I'll just call you Hank!" I should mention that at this time I was going through a phase where my name was Jennifer and ONLY Jennifer. I was very offended and started to cry while everyone had a chuckle. It was indeed funny, but of course it took me few years to find the humor in it! From that point on my family nick name was Hank. Every time I saw Uncle Big Head, he'd say, "Well hello Hank!" In time we were both laughing.
It was such a privilege to know him and to receive his love. I know that his passing must be very difficult for all of you, so we send our love whole-heartedly to lift you up in your time of need. It bring us peace to know that he has been returned with full faculty of body and mind and that he is awaiting us with his kindness and humor on the other side.
All our love
Jennifer (Scarfe), Geert, Saphera and Addica
