Not sure what to say?

I was shocked and saddened to learn of C.P.'s death. We had talked since Christmas, and he'd mailed me an appointment book from the Toy Museum. We'd shared the Town and Gown stage in musical productions, and I'll remember those good times when I think of C.P.

My condolences to the family of C.P.

I was deeply saddened to hear of C.P.'s death. Colquitt Prater Jr. was a good friend that I met while attending the Univ. Of Georgia and a great fraternity brother. I and my roommates,Tim Conner and Steve Boots, at UGA, shared a lot of good times with C.P. Bracket. I kept up with C.P. until he left Sevierville, Tn. After that I lost track of him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to C.P.'s family.

Dear Friends & Family of C.P.,
I was shocked to learn of his passing. Although I had lost contact with him, we and others shared happy memories in The Emmanuel Episcopal Church Dream/Journey Group. The ride back to Lincolnton with him and Paul Edmondson after a car breakdown at the Kanuga Campground provided an outstanding memory of synchronistic events and a beautiful trip through some of his beloved places in the mountains. You are in our prayers.

Cheri, Susan, and Family, C.P. was a good friend. I am blessed to be one of his many, many friends. May the Lord comfort you at this time.

I was sorry to learn of CP's death - we held him up in prayer on Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church, Buchanan.

Although our life and time together was much too short, it was a spectacular ride that I wouldn't have missed for anything. I will bask in the love that we shared for the rest of my life. Always.

Sorry to learn of C.P.'s death. I'd lost track of him and wondered where he had moved off to. I have fond memories of performing with him at the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation. He was Dr. Chumley in Harvey. He and I both saw the rabbit in that play. I later worked with him in a play he wrote and directed, and had several more conversations with him after that and found him to be a delightful and caring man. Peace and grace to the family.

We were shocked and sorry to learn of C.P.'s death. There are many bittersweet memories of our time working with him when I was the Toy Museum Manager from 2002 to 2004, and my mother, Dorothy Watkins, was the Museum Assistant from 2003 to 2004. His toy collection was phenomenal, and his supercharged car was something else!
