Tim (and family),

I was so sorry to read of your loss of your father. Though I did not know him, he was a good man, by all accounts.

It's doubtful you would remember me. You went to Gordon High School with my brother, Keith. We lived on Starline Drive; I believe you lived on Fontaine Circle. I think, also, you were in a band with Keith (and with Gary C. and Gary B.).

You made an impression on me as being a nice guy; a good guy. You were clean-cut and always polite.(See, one never knows when one is making an impression on another.)

I remember Keith saying (during that time in the late 60's) that you had said you planned to go into the ministry. I see that, indeed, you did.

I pray that peace and comfort be about you as you remember your father and grieve your loss.

Sincerely,
Jan Bryant

My Uncle Brady was a wondeful uncle and quite a card. I remember very well the family reunions we shared when I was a child. My mom, Brady's sister, Joyce, loved him dearly as did all his sisters. Will miss him very much.
