I will always remember my big bro....the laughs, sorrows, challenges, and of course, singing as a family while growing up, at Christmas or the many times around the campfire at our lake home. We had a lot of fun times there...boating, fishing, just hangin' out .. sometimes for several days :) I think he loved the change from city life! I express my deepest sympathy to Peg and all the family and pray God's comfort and strength in the days ahead. It helps me to focus on the fact he is not suffering anymore and his love for family and friends will always remain! Blessings to family and friends, Sis Lynn
