Mr Brewster, so much can be said about your many personalities, to some a friend, to some a father to some a foe. what I can say is that I will forever miss you, and the money you took from me during the many poker games. You are a legend to some and a leader to others and your legacy will go on forever. The Road less traveled will now be lonier without you. You have taught your children well and they will carry on the tradition. You have a big and stinky pair of sneakers for them to fill but they will and have pulled together to fill them. So long my friend see you at the round table again someday..

I knew Dick as Dad, my son called him Grandpa Dick. I lived with Dick after my divorce. He taught me things that I never knew, and I am grateful for everything that he taught me. There were times that we didn't see eye to eye but in the end he was always right. He taught me the best poker face, playing poker with him and the guys was always my favorite time with him., He always took time out of his busy schedule to spend time with Brad even if it was reading a book before he hit the road for the weekend. I will always remember his kindness, stories and his laugh.

I loved listening to his stories, he had many. He was always willing to help, whatever the need may have been. He made me feel welcome from the first moment I met him, and I've been family ever since. I miss him very much.

My favorite memory of Dick was the fact that if you needed something he would drop everything he was doing to help you out. When I got divorced he took vacation time to fly down, pick up me and my U-haul, drive me to Reno to pick up my motorcycle, then proceed to drive with me to Anchorage. All I had to do was ask. I owe the man everything and will continue to try and pay back everything by living by his example. I will always miss you Dick and I will try and never let you down! Thank you for everything, Dad.

My favorite memories of Papa were the times he teased me and made me laugh. He was definitely like a second father to me and always treated me like family. I will never forget the "ziploc bag" advice he gave me. My children all love and miss him very much. We love you Papa & will never forget you. <3

My best memories of Brewster were over many years at the shop working on his truck. He would always have a story to tell and a moment to stop and grab some coffee. He spoke of his kids and over the years then the grand kids. Every mile he drove was for you kids. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
