Just from reading that summary, it truly shows how amazing of a person your father was his whole life. Brammy was truly like a grandpa to me and I learned so much from him throughout my life. I still have the little Swedish face that he carved for me for my birthday sitting on my dresser; he was such an amazing guy and will be missed by so many people. I'm so sorry for your loss, Patti and Barb, but just know he is in a better place and is happy to see Mary again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Miss and love ya Bram.
