The kids will miss him terribly. They always wanted to go over and talk to him everytime they saw him outside! He was a great neighbor.

Chuck, Tonie, Terie & Tracie, so sorry about your dad. I used to stop by his office and chew cigars with him. He and dad were great friends and had lots of good times together.

Terie & Family,

I only met your dad once when I was out for your wedding to Neil, and he made us feel very welcome. I am thinking of you at this difficult time. You now have another angel in heaven to watch over you.

I got the pleasure of seeing Mr. Brabham almost every day over the last few years when he was coming into the office he kept. He was always very pleasant and nice. I am soo sorry for your loss, he seemed like a great man. May God grant you peace.

To Dick's family,
Over many years, I enjoyed working with Dick as a structural engineer on many local projects including the Holiday Inn buildings. He would chew his cigar while we dicussed a project with interruptions to hash out the pros and cons of the latest Wichita Symphony programs. Always easy going and a joy to work with.
