Not unless you name a particular uncle. For example: it is capitalized if you name a particular uncle like "Uncle Steve" because it is a name of an uncle. So, no, uncle it's self does not need to be capitalized.

No, the common noun 'uncle' becomes a proper noun when it is the title of a specific uncle. Examples:

common noun: My uncle invited me to go fishing.

proper noun: My Uncle Jack invited me to go fishing.

It should be capitalized when it is used in place of the person's name.

In other words, it should be capitalized when it is not preceded by a possessive pronoun.
