Bobbie & family, so saddened by the news of Brandon's passing. He was a very special guy. I remember with a smile how he'd try to sneak by my desk at Dr Wespisers. Hopping I wouldn't catch him & he wouldn't have to make another appointment. It was a game we played that he always lost. When I purchased Subway, he was so excited, & became a regular, making us all laugh & smile. He will be missed dearly by the entire community.
