Bro loved his children with all of his heart! Gary, Leslie, Johnny, and Bobby were the loves of his life! He was in awe of his grandchildren! His heart overflowed with love! He was so very proud of all of you! He felt extremely blessed!

Oh for the love of the Carnival! He absolutely loved going to the carnival! We would go every season! No matter where or how far! We had to stop! It was his passion to share with family! Especially his children! The games always drew him in! Winning the biggest prize was the goal! But especially to share this passion with his children was the ultimate for him to do! He loved the carnival!
