Uncle Ralf owned a farm on the land where the Kincaid power plant was built and where some of lake Sangchris is. I don’t know how big Uncle Ralf’s farm was, but I now that it was very large operation. Well, Uncle Ralf became a millionaire over night when he sold all that land so that the power plant and lake could be built. The deal included that he could keep the acre that his farm house set on and they would maintain the road that went to his house. Well, Uncle Ralf and Aunt Dot bought a big old Cadillac and started traveling throughout the United States and Canada.
Several years later Uncle Ralf and Aunt Dot stopped by to see mom and Dad. I remember Uncle Ralf talking to Daddy about them wanted him and mom to travel with them. Uncle Ralf told daddy that if he retired and if mom and he would start traveling with them that he would sign all the money over to him. They were lonely.
Daddy said that it was a hard decision, but he told Uncle Ralf no. Daddy said that he couldn’t leave his family and grand kids for long periods of time.
Uncle Ralf then told daddy if he died first that all the money would go to Aunt Dot’s side of the family. If Aunt Dot died first then all the money would go to daddy.
After Uncle Ralf and Aunt Dot left, daddy told me don’t ever count on an Inheritance. Anything could happen to the money.
Uncle Ralf was like a father to daddy. They were very close.
Years later Aunt Dot died. Later Uncle Ralf married a woman and all the money went to her.
So, daddy was right, “Don’t Ever Count on an Inheritance.”
Was it the right decision, I think so. Mom and daddy would have been gone months at a time. I think it would have been harder on mom than daddy.
