Charles Bruning Obituary

A note to the "K" Sisters:



I was floored just yesterday to hear of your Dad's death. I have been a bit out of the banker "loop" and it shows. What a lovely generous guy who was mad about you both. You may be aware but he was of enormous help to me in the early days of my business career. He would fly here and review my every move. We are successful today because of his help back then. But, that was what he was...a true friend!!



When I lost my Dad, a friend sent me the following anonymous quote:



"May time place its hand on your heart, not smiting it, but as a harpist places her hands upon the strings...to deaden the vibration".



I only remember you ladies as girls and he was proud then. Despite my believeing him to be "God"...he was just human. Forgive him, remember him and love him as much as he did you.



I wish you both better days ahead.

KATHLEEN AND KARLA,I'VE KNOWN YOUR DAD AS A FRIEND,GOLFER,CLIENT AND SPORTS FAN OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS.ALSO HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST AMATEUR CHEFS I'VE KNOWN.HE WILL BE MISSED BY ME AND HIS FELLOW FRIENDS AT BUTLER NATIONAL.MY MOST SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO BOTH OF YOU. BOB PEELE

Dear Kathleen & Karla,

I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and it shocked me so that it took me a minute to recover. I loved him very much and love both of you even though I haven't seen you in years. I have many fond memories of you and your Dad being at my house and all the fun we had together over the years. Both of you are in my prayers and I pray that the comfort that only God can give will be yours. Blessings to both of you as you face these days ahead, but just remember you will see him, and Meemaw again in Heaven.
