Dan,
I am very sorry to learn about your brother's passing. I read about it after the services, otherwise I would have attended.
Although I didn't know him, like your Dad, he seemed to be very dedicated to public service which is a very admirable trait.
Perhaps our paths will cross before too long as time is very fleeting.
Sincerely,
Joe
