I was so sad to hear of the loss of Braxton. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. I recall when I was helping him with his retirement how often he spoke of you Judy and the family he deeply loved. My prayers are with you.

May 10. I was sorry to learn of Braxton's passing. I knew him as Jimmy. When I was a teenager visiting my sister in Hampton, he went out of his way to make his visting younger cousin welcome. I wish I could have know him as an adult. (Jimmy's grandmother Hill was my aunt)

To the Powell family, Braxton loved you all so much. He always had a new picture of the kids to show, he was so proud of his family. His smile and kindness will be missed by all who knew him.
