He use to tell me some real crazy jokes. Haha... He used to say the crazy jokes and ended up laughing before we did with his big laughter....miss him
Cobo used to go to Holy Redeemer when I went there in the 50s we used to tease him and later I
went to
Cayo to live with
my pa and going to to the river (SANDY bay) we see Cobo at the river and with an a American man name Don Leon with a long beard living in a TWO story tached house with a library of books we would stop by for fruits and most Off ALL to see his snakes and more..they said he was also a spy. Interesting times in our youth..
I used to go to St. Ignatius school he used to go there to beg for milk and powder bun.
Cobo used tuh mek tea dah yuh pa shop. An yuh ma nn Chichi used tuh feed ah sometimes. But maybe yuh tuh young fuh 'membah dat.
Noh, dah Cobo used tuh trow stone wen 'ih get call Cobo. An if teacha dah Holy Redeemah sih Cobo trow stone attah yuh, yuh get beat inah class.
My mom remembers Cobo as an undercover from England. She said the kids used to throw rocks at him bc they thought he was a bum.
Cobo use to be around Memorial Park, I remember he use to take his bath at the seashore and my mother once call the police after him.
Cobo was a spy and I remember him quite well with his pan asking for boil water to make his tea.
Cobo got picked up by Scotland Yard while I was still living in Belize. He was a handsome man with sharp features amd blue eyes.
