During one of his visits, back in the smoggy days of LA, I remember driving by UCLA when he asked, &#8216;What do you see when the smog clears up?&#8230; UCLA.&#8217; Later, on that same visit, he challenged us to a pizza eating contest and claimed he could eat a hundred pieces of pizza &#8211; and proceeded to cut his slice into many, many little bits&#8230; That kind of silly joking made him a favorite to us little kids. I&#8217;m sure my brother remembers this too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for your grandmother, Aunt Sunny was always so matter-of-fact and very, very funny in that way, even when she wasn&#8217;t intending to. Whenever she spoke, I would listen. So if you are gathering stories about her, you should end up with a large collection&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your grandparents are in some of the best memories I have from my childhood, as, doubtless, they are\u2014and will remain\u2014with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One regret of mine is that your grandfather never met my youngest kid, Alexander Henry\u2014his namesake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May their memories be a blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Lim is nephew to Henry and Sunny.
