Nothing 

would delight me more

 

Richard Kampe's mother

is my Godmother

 

His father was the best man

at my parents' wedding

 

My Godmother

—Catherine Oliverio—

will always be 

known as

"Aunt Kay"

 

My Uncle

—William P. Kampe—

will always be 

known as

"Uncle Willy"

 

He had the highest IQ

 of all my relatives

and the last time

I saw him

—in Tarpon Springs, Florida—

he made mincemeat

of me

on the chessboard

Later that month 

(May, 1981)

I became a California resident

The last time I saw Aunt Kay

(by then, a widow)

was co-piloted

by a bottle of scotch

 

The last time I saw

Richard Kampe

was after the funeral

of our funniest Uncle

—Paul Vernon Oliverio—

and that night in 1999

was as memorable

as my last night

with Aunt Kay

Uncle Paul was born 

on October 16th

which is the date

Richard passed away

in 2014

He died exactly

thirty-three years

after his prettiest Aunt

—my Mother—

passed away

***

 

I owe an apology

to Richard's widow

—my cousin Susan—

because she invited me

to visit the family

in South Carolina

 

That  was October, 2015,

when I drove 

thirty-two hundred miles

from Katonah, NY

to Long Beach, CA

 

Not only did I not 

visit my cousin

but I have not

spoken to her since

that time

According to his "Wiki Page,"

Richard Kampe was

the President of Tobacco

for RJ REYNOLDS

 

Therefore,

I also apologize to 

the Health Nazis

who were expecting me

to dig up some dirt

 on my beloved cousin
