Day 2 of 28 Days of my Family History - Joseph Jennings - My Uncle

So now i'm at day 2 and Im very excited about sharing my family with everyone and getting to know more and more about family that I didnt know.  I was asked what happens after 28 days, especially if you still have family left?  Well then it simply continues.  This has started something in me that I can't tame.  Im on a mission to learn as much as I can about my family and I hope to be able to record all this history for generations to come to know about and never forget.  Hopefully one day, someone else will pick this up and never let it die.  So for my second day Im sharing with you my uncle, Joseph Jennings.  I will start off by saying I miss him very much.  Uncle Joe was my mom's oldest brother,born Dec. 19, 1941, passing from this earth on Oct. 10, 1994. He was the first child of Doris Jennings and Joseph F. Jennings.  He was educated in the Baltimore City School system and continued his education at the Community College of Baltimore obtaining an Associate of Arts Degree in 1975.  In 1959 he joined the US Army and was honorably discharged in 1965 with the rank of Sergeant. He joined the Baltimore City Police Dept in 1969 and retired in 1993 as a Detective Sergeant.  One of his proudest moments was when both of his sons joined him as officers with the Baltimore Police department.   He loved fishing and made sure that he was always available to family and friends whenever he was needed.  My fondest memory is that my uncle was they type who always made sure we always had money in our pockets. Whenever he would see my brothers and I he would secretly give us money to stash in our pockets. We had many great times at his house at family cookouts and functioins and had fun times hanging with our cousins. I miss you uncle Joe!!!
