Way back in 1980, I found myself married to Brew’s father’s friend. Brew was just a little boy. His Dad was a single man, trying hard to take care of Brew. Brew was sporty, strong, very polite and sweet. I treated him like family. We lost touch for a very long time to find him grown and still a GREAT guy.Thanks Facebook. I am fortunate to have had this gentle soul be my friend. May Brew rest in peace. May all the memories bring comfort to Deedie and all family and friends, He had a short life, but he was loved hard. With love Gigi
