William K. BRAUN

I just got in from out of town yesterday evening late and found dear Bill died. Dear Louise, Kelly, Jim, Jack and Daniel and all of our family members, my great sadness that cancer took him so soon. My love to you all. Mary Lou

Bill was a golf buddy of my first boss at Bruning and even when I was a young 20, I new there was something great about him. At 50+ I still saw those qualities and adored him for it. I asked him many lawn and repair questions over the years. He always had suggestions along with a funny story about a neighbor or someone he knew to go along with the advice. I missed him before he even retired.

Bill was in a class all his own. He had a unique sense of humor and was always very positive. It was an honor to work with him. He loved his family very much, and my thoughts and prayers go out to them.

I worked with Bill a long time & I always remember when he came to my desk to ask me a question. He would walk up so quite that I didn't even know that he was approhing me. He would then put his hand on my shoulder & rub & everytime he did that, I'd almost jump out of the chair. Bill was such a special person & will truly be missed.

Bill was married to our cousin Louise and we have known him all that time. What a special man he was, so kind and always caring. He surely rests with the Savior this very day , love from Gael (Brennan) and Roy Hanauer

Bill was always very supportive of us in the field. If you needed something, a question answered or some pertinent information he was the one to call. He was always upbeat and friendly. Of all of those in the home office Bill was the best. He will be missed very much. Larry Hansgen (Columbus, Ohio)

Bill was a wonderful person. He was a kind and supportive link to us, always with a positive outlook, and, overall, a great human being. I'll miss Bill. God Bless him.

Bill was always a terrific person, and a real positive influence. I've known him since I was a kid, and still smile thinking about his laugh & his stories. He'll be missed.

Often, when I walked away from Bill's desk at work, I found myself humming the song "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..." because Bill's light was always shining and it made ours shine brighter, too. Bill will be missed by everyone who knew him.
