What a jerk the partner was!

Did Uncle Bob give you any indication that this was going to happen? Remember that Uncle Bob got $$$ from Larry and obviously left you out in the cold, which IMO was pretty underhanded, considering you helped build the business up. So is the business continuing but just at another place? Or did Larry buy Uncle Bob out and close it up? I would definitely file for unemployment. But I think I'd be talking to 'Uncle Bob' and asking him some questions about what provisions he made for you in the deal with Larry when Larry bought him out.
