Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Stan Lee was best friends with my mother's first cousin, Ken Bald. In this youtube clip, Stan is praising him (on his 95th birthday). As Stan says, Ken was a powerfully good looking man (think Tyrone Power) -- his wife, Kaye Dowd Bald, a beautiful woman, was an actress and model. Stan's wife was beautiful also. She and Kaye were best friends too.
I need to make that phone call to them asap, not only to offer condolences on the loss of his friend but to have what will most certainly be a final contact. They probably won't remember who I am but when I say cousin Catherine's daughter, it will hopefully spark some recollections. I was just a little girl when I attended all the pool parties and family reunions that they held. And I was in my late 20's/early 30's when I attended their children's weddings.
