Our prayers are with the family. We met Mr. Braden while delivering meals to him. Our adult members with Down Syndrome loved talking to him. He always gave them treats and taught them about Louisville history through conversations. He was a dear sweet man and we looked forward to delivering meals to him. Our members at Down syndrome of Louisville will miss him!
