Looks like I remembered it backwards. He was PRECEDED by Scott Brown, not the other way around. He’s a genealogy cousin and very active in providing resources to our library regarding local ancestors.
Funeral directors often excel in looking like they care. Rarely do you find one that actually DOES. He came to our house when we lost mother and asked me to tell him about her as a person before he went to the hospital to bring back her body. I’ve never had an interaction with him that wasn’t filled with kindness, curiosity and humor. The statehouse lost big when he had that fall. Smart as a whip and deep as they come.
I see. After my time in MA.
