From Eddie "Eric":  Oh my Cousin Lou, where do I even begin! Out of all my cousins Lou and I were the tightest, when Lou wanted some Rest and Relaxation from the Big Apple he would always head north to Western Massachusetts. Oh the Bon fires and cold Sam Adams, we had many of them. And with all this came endless rib breaking laughs! When Lou would come over we had our rituals. Friday night was bon fire, Sam Adams and catch up on current events, oh and lots of laughs! Saturday morning was New England style breakfast made by cousin "Eric"(that's me, Eddie, a name our uncle Tal gave me, so Lou and the other cousins would call me that too) then a power nap. After a power nap a run to the Package store to stock up Sam Adams for the evening, come back and watch some comedy, some of our favorites included Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, George Carlin etc.. As when the sun would begin to go down we would start gathering wood for the nights bon-fire and more Sam Adams and more rib breaking laughs. Some of our favorites lines and songs around the bon fire would be "Cheers Big Ears”, and after several beers we would sing, " There's a tear in my Beer and I'm crying over you dear, cause I love you" and "All my ex's live in Texas that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee"!! On Sunday, a run to nearby Southwick, MA to pick up Mrs. Murphy's donuts. The rest of Sunday afternoon and into the evening was always reserved for spaghetti westerns, our favorites were the Clint Eastwood ones "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "Hang em High" and "A fist full of Dollars". I am going to miss my dear cousin Lou, but we will meet again! And always remember when you have a beverage raise up that bottle or glass a yell "Hey Lou, CHEERS BIG EARS"!!!!! PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS FROM COUSIN Ed in Massachusetts.
