The Bracken Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Bracken's passing. He was a great man. He treated my brothers and I as if we were his own children. He would always stop whatever he was doing to say hi. When he asked how you were doing he really was interested in knowing. For many years he would clear the snow off my parents walkway when he knew they couldn't. He would always put the needs of others before his own. Mr Bracken will surely be missed by all those who have had the pleasure of knowing him.
Love,
Elaine

Dear Anne and Family-
Our deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of your dear father. He was a gentle and caring man who truly loved his family. His devotion to your mother was a wonderful example of how a spouse should behave "in sickness and in health". He always put everyone else first and never craved the limelight--he was content to bask in the glow of his wife, children and grandchildren. His garden was his haven and he possessed the green thumb on earth--there was nothing he could not grow!! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

The Bracken Family,
Words cannot describe how sorry I am to hear about the passing of Mr. Bracken. Mr. Bracken was one of the first that I met when we moved to Evans St. some forty two years ago. In describing Mr. Bracken some would say that he was one of the nicest men you would ever meet. I would have to say he was not one of the nicest he was the nicest. Every time I would see him he would always greet me with "Hi Ronnie how are you". We will all miss him but will never forget him.
All My Love
Ron
