19 Jul 2007 We called him "Junior". He was one of my favorite cousins ... he was so funny, was alway ready to make someone laugh. He use to put sponge curlers in his hair just to make us laugh. We all miss him and I do remember him because his birthday was a day before mine. Sylvia Gonzalez smgonzales@smith.com
