He was an avid photographer, a poet, a storyteller, and a humorist who kept all who knew him happy and entertained. But above all he was Uncle Owl to his nieces and nephews, whom he loved and cherished every day, and for many of whom he was a loving and active godfather, a special position in the family that he celebrated with great joy. And, he was Al (and sometimes Bear) to his many friends, throughout the country and in the Navajo nation, whose friendships he valued and to whose aid he would come readily with a smile and a steady hand.
