I will always remember my Uncle as a very shy but quiet man. I have very fond memories of him. He used to give me and my sister stuffed animals when we were little and I’ll never forget the time he rode to see me and my sister when we were little when he had a day off from work. He was also very compassionate towards animals. He loved my family’s pets. He used to enjoy visiting a horse farm w hen he was at Tewksbury hospital. Seeing what Huntington’s Disease did to him and what it has been doing to my family has been one of my greatest motivators to take the risk to invest in real estate to help build wealth that could be donated to causes aimed at improving the lives of people battling this horrible disease.

I remember my nephew Colin as such a kind , handsome young man. I knew him in his younger years when we also lived on the Cape. We were so proud of him for serving his country as a Marine. His debilitating illness was a tragedy for someone so young with such a positive future ahead of him. Hopefully someday Huntingtons Disease will be eliminated and no one else will have to go thru what Colin went thru. My prayers to his family and friends. I hope he has peace in heaven.
