To the Briscoe family,
Learned of Jack Ed's passing on Tuesday while driving by Denton. Many fond memories of Jack Ed, Colleen, Gwen, Brian and Mike from my days at Briscoe tire while attending UNT. The entire family was good to me during those days. I also remember Ike and Duane. I knew Tommy Nelson from his Bible study.
God brought all of us together, and now God has one more special Texan with him in Heaven!
God bless all of you,
Doug & Joy Kusel
