so sorry to hear about your dad, we had some really great times at the farm! Times i will never forget. hope you and your family get through these tough times.
Andy and Doc,
I wanted to let you know that it is a blessing to call Brian my friend. From the first time we met, it was as if we were already lifelong friends. I will truly miss my visits with him and all the talks we had. No matter how much or little time we could spend together or just when we talked on the phone, it always brightened my day. I hope it did the same for him. I enjoyed bringing him his favorite chocolate candy to keep his “bucket” filled that sat on the table next to his chair and surprising him with his favorite breads was so much fun. I loved that he was such an outdoor person and it was fun to help him with the cows, especially at feeding time. Those times are some of my favorite memories. I really hate that I couldn’t visit more with him once he moved (due to the pandemic situation), but I feel in my heart that he knew I was thinking about him. Please know that when we talked, he always spoke highly of both of you and was very proud to be your Dad. He often spoke of his beautiful granddaughters as well. Brian was a great friend to me and I will truly miss him.
I was so sad to hear about bubba! Mike Schier’s daughter Tammy is so sad to hear! Bubba was an amazing soul! You and my dad worked USAIR in Asheville. You were like a dad to me! I’ll always love and miss you. Now Dad and momma are up there with you as well! Annie and Mike I’m sure are glad to see you! Yo the family, I’ll never for the memories with Bubba! My heart is heavy with his passing!
