Sorry for the delay, I loved my cousin and I used to love his visits to Cape Breton. Through the years we had great times discussing family and their separation. We had a lot of laughs. He was a great host when I visited his home. Because of our age difference, I idolized him when I was a kid. Will always miss him. Condolences.
