Much, much sympathy and loving thoughts to all of the Hancock clan. I am your cousin ----- your dad's mother and my father were brother & sister. He was a gracious and charming man, who always took the time to include a long newsy letter in his annual Christmas card. I know you will all miss him so very much, but am sure your memories will be of wonderful times together. Blessings to each of you ---
