In loving memory of a wonderful brother.
I will miss you more than words can say.
I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see.
I sought my God, but my God eluded me.
I sought my brother and I found all three.

Ron words can not describe the way our hearts feel You were such a big part of our lives for many years. You blessed my family by allowing us to be part of yours. You brought a different spirit to my little church which made a great change in many lives. Our hearts are broke but I know you are happy and in no more pain now. I am sure Jan, Endora and many of your family and friends were there to meet you. Fly high Mr B. You touched many lives and were loved deeply by so many.

I have no words adequate or eloquent enough to honor you as I know you deserve. You made your mark on my life before I ever met your son. Your unique ability to teach and preach at the same time helped me to have a desire to be in God's house at a time in my life it had faded. Life had gotten the best of my affections for God. One day, one sermon changed my life. The sermon spoke deep into my spirit that resulted in a fire that has never died. Then there came a day you prayed for me to...
