I was very young when I found out that we were cousins. Our Parents both had stands at the Saylorsburg Flee Market. I would often go over to their trailer and lock them in by sticking a stick through the lock in the back. They would all be yelling over to my parents that I had done it again and my parents would have to go let them out lol. We shared that story a lot while laughing. It would always end with...."You were a Brat!" You will be missed Cuzo!! You are now in the arms of our Lord and Savior!! Love and Miss you!! Until we meet again.

Our sympathy goes out to the Gould family. We didn't know the parents but Philip and Alex were the best snow shovelers when they lived in the Slatington area. Sorry for your loss.
