I only had the pleasure of knowing my great-uncle for a short while when I was a child, but I've never forgotten him. He and Betty (whose name I'd forgotten for years and am now delighted to recall) were in the highest sense of the word "cool". The world is an uglier place without my uncle in it, but I want to thank you for posting the news about his passing, otherwise I'd have never known. When you marry Samantha I guess that'll make us related, but since I don't actually know Samantha then I suppose that that's utterly irrelevant. Regardless "Cousin-in-law" that you may be in the future, thanks. Stay frosty, Darrell Simmonds.
