My great uncle Maurice is my maternal grandmother's younger brother. It's been said that my great-grandmother named him after her favorite actor, Maurice Chevalier. Having been blessed with the good looks of an actor, he is a typical Portuguese man in that he always has a good story probably because he's always up to something mischievous. The love he has for his family is directly proportional to our admiration of him.

In honor of his upcoming 80th birthday (b. February 26, 1931) I thought I would post some photos of him. Happy Birthday Uncle Maurice!
