To a man that was larger than life, his presence made you feel safe and everything was going to be okay. He liked his naps. I think all of the family at one time or another took a nap with him, either at the house, or a family gathering throughout the years. His voice brought order to a large family (this was our very own Brady bunch).
The love he had in his heart was spread to everyone who had the chance to meet him. All my love to my family, we were all so lucky to have this man in our lives.

pv.18:22 The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord. (Victory!!)
pv. 17:27 A truly wise person uses few words;a person with understanding is even-tempered. (few words but when spoken we listened)
pv. 15:4 Gentle words are a tree of life;a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. (Gentle giant you are, always speaking kind encouraging words)
ps. 23:4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. (God has given you eternal life Bruce making the walk easy for you as entry into new beginings form).
They say words cannot express ones feelings in times like this, I now disagree. I have found God's words and I copied a couple to show what a godly man you are. You have been a father figure to me through the years, opening your home and heart to me. I'm thankful for your time with me and here on earth. May your new home bring you joy and peace as I'm sure it will for you have acheived the ultimate victory!! God bless you and the entire Badeaux family. My family extends deepest condolences and Love during this time of mourning and celebration.
