Dear Bill, Bonnie and Chuck,
My condolences for the recent loss of your father. I just beeped at him a few months ago as he sat on the porch when we were on our way home from my son’s RG American Legion baseball game at Sugarcreek. I’m sure he didn’t know who I was, but, he still waved and it brought up many stories of my LL days practicing at your house and his baritone voice and huge laugh…ah, the good old days. I only wish now we would have stopped and i would have let him tell the stories as he could tell a yarn with the best of them.
With sympathy,
Ken “Teke” Brannon
