I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE PINKY AS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN MY LIFE. I REMEMBER GOING TO DANCES AT THE SACKVILLE FIREHALL ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AND HOW PROUD I WAS OF HIM. IT WAS NOT JUST HIS MUSIC, BUT HIS LOVE OF FAMILY, PEOPLE, AND FRIENDS. HIS PERSONALITY SHONE THROUGH IN EVERYTHING HE DID. HE WAS A BIT SHY, BUT OH SO SWEET. I REMEBER MY PARENTS BEING POOR, AND PINKY ALWAYS HAD MONEY, PROBABLY FROM PLAYING SOME GIG ON THE WEEKEND, AND HE WOULD PAY ME 50 CENTS TO COMB HIS HAIR OR SCRATCH HIS BACK WITH A BRUSH. MY GRANDMOTHER USE TO LAUGH AT US AS HE SAT IN A CHAIR BY THE KITCHEN STOVE WITH HIS FEET ON THE OVEN DOOR. OR IF I REWROTE HIS HOMEWORK ESSAYS FOR HIM, I WOULD GET $2.00 FOR THAT, AS THAT TOOK QUITE A LONG TIME. HE ALWAYS MADE SURE I HAD MONEY TO GO TO A MOVIE, GO TO THE DANCES, BUT HIS EYE WAS ALWAYS ON ME TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE. I WAS HIS LITTLE SISTER AND HE WAS GOING TO PROTECT ME. WHENEVER I NEEDED TO TALK TO SOMEONE I ALWAYS WENT TO HIM, AND HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO LISTEN. AFTER HE LEFT FOR TORONTO IN THE 60'S, I WAS A VERY LOST LITTLE GIR.L. MY FRIEND WAS GONE. BACK THEN YOU DIDN'T CALL EACH OTHER MUCH BECAUSE THAT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. WHEN HE CAME HOME WITH THE BAND MEMBERS, OUR MOM ALWAYS HAD LOTS OF FOOD AND EVERYONE WOULD GATHER ROUND OUR HOUSE. IT WAS NOT ONLY THE BAND MEMBERS, BUT WORD WOULD SOON SPREAD " PINKY WAS HOME," AND THE PEOPLE WOULD COME FROM ALL OVER. HE WAS MAGNETIC!!! EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN MILES APART FOR MANY YEARS, WE WOULD STILL KEEP IN TOUCH BY PHONE, VISITS, AND I LOVE HIM AS MUCH TODAY AS I DID AS THAT LITTLE GIRL IN SACKVILLE.
