Title: My little brother passed away this morning"
Post by: Jethro on June 09, 2012, 09:05:31 EDT
He was a veteran of the Gulf War, a good Christian, president of the local Knights of Columbus and an all around swell guy.  He was a rabid Atlanta Braves fan and also a fan of, ahem, Alabama.  Which just goes to show that no one is perfect.  He was only 47 years old.

I never thought that I would be typing these words.  My brother was always the good boy.  He was always eager to please, wanted to make my parents proud.  Tried to do the right thing.  I, as you can imagine, was the black sheep and, from the age of 5 or so, did pretty much what I wanted to do and told my parents to go spoon a goose.  He will sure be missed.
