It's hard to realize that we lost our good friend, Fred Brokate. My old four-ball partner was dedicated to his fine family. He was a truly good guy and he will be missed, but he leaves many good memories.

Pat, childhood memories are forever with us as we sat yesterday sharing about our families. You spoke fondly of your father and mother yesterday, who would have known today he would have passed on in such a short time. I know you can never really prepare to lose a father,but let your fond memories be that comfort and know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers during your time of sorrow.
