First cousin here… after growing up in the Johnstown area and all the years of family picnics, we really didn’t have much time together. The times we did have, though were very memorable and pleasant, particularly one time when they came to the annual Wilson picnic in August and we got to know the kids a little bit. I’m so thankful for our hope in Jesus Christ, and knowing we have eternity together with Him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of this special guy!
