When my grandfather started suffering similar memory loss issues, two things happened. One he was like a time traveler!! He would ask questions and it was not really that he did not know WHERE he was, but when. My father started asking him what kind of car he drove and we could piece together a time period of where he was in his life to make sense of his thoughts or sayings. It was sort of awesome. He revealed memories in this way that NO ONE knew about him.
Second, when I was a young child, I interviewed my grandfather about his experiences in WWII. My Mother's cousins, having lost most of the memories of this time when their father\s passed away began questioning me for these stories from my grandfather, as some involved his brother's. It is sort of like I am the last person who knew some of the things that happened to my grandfather in the war. He told me things that even my mother did not know! He also told me things he should not have told a 10 year old boy (apparently you could by condoms by the gross at some of the massage parlors on Waikiki beach)
I hope you have great memories of your Uncle and keep him alive within those. I also strongly support your urging to contact elderly relatives and try to get some of their memories from them while you can. My wife never liked to have her picture taken, until she realized that there are 0 pictures of her with her grandparents from her younger years. She now takes a lot of pictures with our kids and posts them to facebook. Not for her per se, but for the kids to remember these times spent with their mother in the future.

My condolences. In my family the circumstances sadly are that those relatives, with whom get along very well, are spread all over the world. Those in close proximity though ...

It's odd how that works out, is it not? I have family on my mother's side who lives but a half hour's drive from me and I like their company in holiday doses but on the East Coast of the USA where my dad's brother lived I have cousins several years older than me that nonetheless I have always gotten on with, and I've not seen most of them for nearly 10 years.

Indeed odd. In my case I prefer the family from my mom's side. Some of them I see about 3-5 days, every 1-3 years. Some I haven't even seen since I was 3 years old. Yet my connection to them is of that kind that you'd expect among relatives. Yay internet!.

My condolences. I lost my two grandfathers and I will always remember how I ate sunflower seeds and I sat listening to the River Plate (ARG) matches on the radio next to one of them. (Translated text from Spanish).

That is a good memory, I hope you hold it for a long time:)

I was just told today that my father's eldest brother passed away last night at age 85.He became a victim of Alzheimer's several years ago...I shall miss him, but I at least have the good memories of him before his crippling disease destroyed a vital, kind-hearted, funny, independent man. It will be hardest on his incredibly supportive gem of a wife and younger siblings, particularly my father who due to his own chronic health condition will not be able to attend the funeral which is in New York where they all grew up.To all fellow sons and daughters in a similar situation I grieve with ye, and urge ye to spare a word to elderly parents, to take a moment and ask after the memories they may have of departed siblings.
My Uncle Charles was fond of giving things away to others, from the less fortunate members of our society to his large family (1 brother and 3 sisters plus his own sons, grandsons, and nieces and nephews) for which he felt responsible as the patriarch after their parents passed on.
In honour of my uncle, I am going to give away a key here.
Please do not sully my uncle's memory by asking about blacklists or engaging in any petty arguments or insults or drama. I hate that I have to say this but it seems like a reasonable precaution.
