I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Fangel's passing. I am thinking of all of you. As a neighbor for many years and a customer of Brinker's, I always appreciated his kindness and work ethic. He had the most beautiful yard and flower gardens that I can remember while growing up. My prayers will be with you.

To the entire Fangel family, So sad to see that Burt has passed away, I will always remember knowing when he was home from work because of your gravel driveway, we could hear him drive up in is work truck. I will be thinking of you all tomorrow.
