The friendship of our families extended many years and many events. Bruce and I were part of all those occasions, packed into cars annually for annual foliage trips or hanging out during their card playing on Friday nights.

I´ve known the Brailey family since childhood, Bruce´s parents and Judy. Such nice people. My condolences especially to Mary and his children, but to all who loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.
