Boston Globe Obit Notice: Interesting Family JK Has
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 01:28 PM by TayTay
As with any death, condolences to the family. That said, I hope it's not tacky to mention that the writing in this article is nice and quirky.

Geez, my brother lives in Manchester-By-The_Sea. Lots of JK relatives live on the north shore.

1. He sounds a lot like his first cousin, one time removed (?)
Handsome, charming, dignified, wants to help people, well dressed. Silver and bronze stars.

He seems to have lived and amazing life.

2. Interesting guy
Reminds me of a lot of people. I loved the story about charming the woman with the shotgun out of her anger and into a compromise.

Just an interesting story. I hesitated before posting it, as it is an obit. I did find it interesting, but geez, you know......

3. I can see where JK gets it
It seems that dignity, grace, integrity and heroism run in the family. :-)

4. This gentleman reminds me of JK's uncle who passed away
a few months ago. The one living in England. I think it was JK's mother's brother. He was in his 90's too. There seems to be plenty of long-life genes in his family which is a good thing indeed!

P.S. How obsessed with John Kerry are you when you can recite the details of his family members' passings?
