    We are less one

    My brothers,
    My wife of 43 years came to me this evening with a look on her face I'd never seen before. Her brother had been killed in an auto accident while on the road, working for a company, checking oil wells in South Texas. He joined the Navy in 1982 and retired in 2004. Lord, thats a long time ago! He was a "snipe" and took great pleasure in polking fun at the"Deck ape" knucke dragger, plane Captian, BIL "Yours Truly". He was preceded by his older brother, a Navy Beachmaster and his "ther brother an Army radio operator, stationed in Germany. I had many a conversations with the "Beachmaster" and my younger BIL over the years, things you will never hear spoken in public. The "Beachmaster" is gone to be with the"Lord" as well as his siblings. Fair Winds and Following Seas". The "Nose Picker."

    Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was one of the good ones. It's always more painful when they are taken in such an arbitrary and random way before their time.

    May God bring peace and healing with your loss. God got another Texan and He will treat him well.
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Sounds like a good man, cared for his family, family cared for him, and served his country. May he rest in peace and his family find peace that he is at rest.
