I will always remember my cousin as a patient man. Case in point, he tried to teach me piano and got as far as 'Buy a Broom'. I was the envy of the girls in my Sunday School class when they would see me come to church with Bill and his friend. I felt so special. I remember him in his college play at Westfield State and his mother, my aunt, would put her hands over my eyes during a scene that she considered a little too risqué for a 9 year old. He was a good man and when he lost his Beverly, he was a lost man. I will always remember him with a smile.
