Uncle Phil was such a good character.

Notice the way he just says "we're their parents" instead of treating Will like he was different from the rest of their family.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn, RIP.

 

[Joni]

That is bad news. Gonna miss him.

 

[firehawk12]

[Bravocado]

Oh god I'm gonna start crying in the middle of a bunch of strangers like some kind of weirdo.
