He was from a family of 11. Six girls, five boys. Only one of them is left, an aunt who is 90. About 15 years ago I got together with 9 of them at a reunion. My dad and the oldest uncle had already passed. I got a lot of pictures of what turned out to be the last time all were together and many cousins who blew off the reunion contact me now and then for copies. I’ve always taken the high road in family matters and I give them whatever they want.
