Dear Mrs. Bravo, Joe & Rusty,

I have many fond memories of Mr. Bravo. What a fine man he was to so many of his sons' friends. He put up with us when he probably shouldn't have (I can still see him shaking his head when we would come in from the river). His home (and dock) was always his to share with us. Because of him, and all of you, especially Rusty, I will always remember many wonderful days at the Bravo house and the Herb River. May God Bless all of you at this time in your life.

With Love,
