Always my big brother. He could torment me or touch my heart with a story of love and kindness.
As a kid he loved baseball and organized many teams. He even played basebsll in his sleep. He knew all the rules and the stats were always at the ready because he had a gifted nack for numbers.
He married his Sweetheart 53 years ago and was completely grief stricken to lose her. I remember the day he brought her to meet the family. In 1984 we got another Sweetheart when Lynn and Jean had Connie. She is always a great source of pride for her parents, and in 2019 she gave them the gift of a grandson - another source of pride for Lynn and Jean.
In Heaven with the ones he loves, strong and young and whirling in a dance with his Sweetheart. He is missed.
