Rose, Joe, Andrew, Anthony and Alex - We are so sorry for your loss. A Dad and Grandfather's loss is big since they fill our hearts with so much love, character, hope, friendship, warmth, history, and examples of faith and family. However the beauty of all the above is that these are the treasures left behind and if you look hard enough they are in each and everyone of you - We have experienced this loss too in our own families and although very difficult we are elated and grateful with what was left behind and the knowledge that our loved ones, as is your loved one, are home with our Father and all those who have left before us. What a great celebration of happiness and reunion being held and for that we smile and know that they are now home and in a wonderful place. May our Lord's peace and comfort be with each of you forever. Prayers have been lifted. We did not know your Dad or Grandfather but when I saw his picture I saw a little bit of you Rose and Anthony and Alex's beautiful smile and the sparkle in the eyes - you all are truly blessed.

With all our love, The Barron's

Mr. Bravo will be missed. He was a very kind man and always had time to stop in the hallway and say hello with a handshake. May you rest in peace and heaven has just received a wonderful angel. Liza G (BHS)

"I'm just here to serve" was one of Mr Bravo's many memorable quotes. Serve you did, my friend, and with distinction. Now it is time to rest. You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
