A SAD ANNOUNCEMENT
« Reply #-1 on: May 23, 2012, 09:11:09 PM »
My friend of many years, and business associate Brant King of Vero beach FL passed away unexpectedly this past Sunday. Brant and I were working on some business expansion plans that he was to play an important part in. But - mostly, i just miss him. Brant is on the let, I am on the right. This was a BBQ festival we participated in as a vendor, earlier this month.







He leaves behind a wife, one son and a sister.  His son is getting married in San Diego this weekend. Tough on any family...

Rest well my friend, rest well.

Thanks guys. I felt like I owed it to Brant. I got him into cooking outdoors, and he was just getting good at it.

Thanks folks. It is a sad fact that - with life, none of us get out alive.

So - whatever it is - do it now, quit putting it off. Got something you need to say to someone? Stop procrastinating. Been putting off that physical? Just get it done.

AND - take every opportunity to make fond memories with friends and family. Remember - one day that is all they are going to have of you.

Now - let's live, laugh, love - and lighten up. :)

T,  Loosing a close friend sometimes is more painful than loosing a non-close family member.  Sometimes we meet people with whom we just click and a bond forms that is unbreakable...even in death.  Dee

'Tis true Dee.....occasionally, I still see a few of my old "in country" friends and comrades - in my dreams.

Smoke - because you re on teh West Coast...I want to clarify: that was "lighten up"...NOT "lighting up".... ;) ;D
