A voice from the past... He was my cousin. Remember playing together with him when the family lived up on t he North Side.. some place around 35th and North Ave or there about s.. The photo to me reminds me of his mom..
Didn't get to know him very well. Have not seen him since he was a teen.
His father was a peach of a guy. Uncle Henry was very supportive our family and helped when my dad (Mitchell) got very sick.
Our lives and families drifted apart as school and careers took all indifferent directions. In 1959, I went away to scchool and never came back. I now live in Utah and Az
Heard about this from Glynn who lives in Madison and Az.
Condolences to you all.
