I had a cousin that died from Aids in the 80's. He was in Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan back in the day as a dancer and also danced in Grease with John Travolta(my mom could always pick him out in the movie, but I can't). He had a kid show in Chicago called the Magic Door on Sunday mornings. I miss him very much. He was the one person that held my maternal family together. Because he knew he'd die someday, he planned his own funeral. I'll never hear the the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow without thinking of him as he had a violinist play it at his funeral.
In memory of my cousin Bobby Cook, who is missed by many
