My condolences to you my friend!
Maybe you can find some comfort in knowing that he is free of the bonds of old age and pain here on earth to fly with the angels in heaven and watch over his family in comfort and peace.
May he live on forever in your heart and mind for as long as you live!
My Dad was a very special man! He was on his own from the time he was 13 years old so he learned to be pretty self sufficient. He was a strong man and could work circles around many younger people. His knowledge extended from electronics, to car building and repairing, building grain elevators and metal buildings, welding and honestly pretty much anything you could think of. He worked a lot but always tried to Make sure he provided for us as a family. He loved all his kids and encouraged the family to be there for each other. He would drive all over trying to be with us for holidays, birthdays, graduations and ball games. He was very faithful and loyal to his friends and always tried to check in with everyone. He was very independent and I know that this last year and a half has been a challenge. I am glad his struggle is over but I will miss him so much. He truly loved his family. Love you Dad! Julie
It was a privilege to know you Mr Brown and to be your therapist and friend for such a short time. You wanted so much to be strong and independent again because that’s who you were. You spoke of your loved ones quite often and I admired you for that. May you rest in peace now, your friend, Karen King
