About | My cousin Dinky was diagnosed w/cancer a couple of years ago. He and his wife, Frances, lived in Wisconsin & did make a visit home about that time. He fought a good fight & maintained his sense of humor throughout, even toward the end. My family was military & stationed overseas when Dinky played football for the Falcons. When I attended Kalani, a few years later, my teachers, after finding out he was my cousin, still spoke of him. (Apparently, he was a pretty good football player .) Though his father, Joe, was a HNL police detective, he followed my dad into the Army. After that, ended up in Holmen, Wisconsin as a department manager for Walmart in La Crosse. The stories we grew up with of him, still keeps us in stitches. He missed lots but family & friends. |
