Brodie (Mike)-

I was really sorry to hear about your dad. He was truly a great guy and the ultimate family man who thought the world of you, your brothers and your mom. Both he and Mikki made it such a pleasure to grab a pizza (usually a "Tony's" pepperoni charged by you on their account at Belt Valley Grocery) and head out there at any time of the day or night. You (and we) could do no wrong in their eyes. I still keep the little ceramic football man your mom made for me on my dresser, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Marty, Tommy, Chuck, and the others do as well. I'll give you a call shortly to catch up.

Best,

Collin

Larry, Rik, and Mike, so sorry of the passing of your Dad. Your Dad and Mom were very dear to me in my younger days, and I will never forget how good they treated me. It is good to know that Bob and Micki are together again as they should be. They were a truly loving couple who were very proud of their Sons.

Mike, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm sure you are rekindling a ton of great stories and memories about your dad and mom in these days of personal sorrow. Your dad lived life to the fullest and was a great person to know especially in our formative grade school and high school years. Toast him for me with your brothers and families.

Larry & family,

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. I actually didn't know this Brodock, but judging by the rest of you that I do know, I'm sure he was an awesome man that will be missed by all. Take care and God Bless.
