I especially remember Cousin Clarence as a photographer. His parents, Aunt Frances and Uncle Wesley, lived next door to my grandmother on Pulteney Street in the 1940s. Some of his photos of the family were passed on to me from my parents. I recall many visits to Clarence and Gwen at holidays. Happier times remembered.

Kurt sending condolences to you and your family. I loved reading about his life. I never knew he also played trombone and had his own band! That is awesome. I hope your feeling of loss eases over time and the memories of your time together leaves a smile on your face. Sincerely, Sandy (Stetler) Diamond
