I don't know if I have a photo of myself to best demonstrate the similarity with uncle Wally, but when I first showed my 7 year old son that picture a year ago and I asked him who the man on the left was, he replied that it was me! I'd not seen the photo until a few years ago and the resemblance struck me immediately. All of a sudden it made sense of the doe-eyed look of wonder that my Great Aunt was staring at me with when I visited them about 9 years ago; I was chatting with Wally and she was intent on fixing me something to eat and looking at me the same way that Marty McFly's Mom was ogling him in Back to The Future
. She has sadly passed away since.
