My brother always had a propensity for electronics. I remember when we were young kids my sister & I were sitting on the porch and Paul came out with a small electrical device he created.
"Touch these 2 wires" he said to us. So we did and received tiny shocks in our fingers.
He was still tweaking his device and went back in. My sister & I decided no matter what shock we received we would say we didn´t feel anything. Maybe that was kid cruel! to make him touch the wires and get shocked multiple times while trying to fix why we didn´t get shocked. Finally we laughed and told him we were fooling him and really were getting shocked!
My brother Paul is free now of the physical/ material realm, he is set free of his bodily pain & suffering, and for us there is comfort in thinking he is finally at peace.

One of my memories that were very funny was when we were young and we lived in lynbrook Paul bought in a praying mantis nest in his room and my parents didn't know that and they hatched and there was hundreds of praying mantis babies all over his room I still remember that and I laugh every time I think about it

My favorite memory of my brother was the way he would finish eating dinner with the family and then leave the table to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
