Recently one of my cousins died. He was a great guy; loyal, a good dad & husband. He was a load of fun in our youth, and as crazy of any of us when the mood hit.
I hesitate to use his name because of the sensitive nature of his career. Let's just say that the only ones who flew higher, or faster, than his unit were X-15 pilots, astronauts & cosmonauts. Pick a hot-spot.
I always felt for his long-suffering g/f-then-wife when the phone rang and he'd be off, never able to say word one about where he was going or when he'd be back. Not many women could, or would, handle that.
We'll miss him greatly.
