was Tom’s older brother, and he died last evening with family and friends present. He was a gregarious man who was friendly with everyone. Tom learned to love Mopars because of Jody. Jody liked to tell stories that began with “back in the day”, and the stories seemed to become more embellished as time passed. He lived with us for a bit when he first moved back to Washington State in 2007, and there are many memories of that time. He was obviously well-loved and will be missed.
Here are some photos of him:

I am so sorry for your loss.
Thanks Teresa. We are going through a difficult time, but it will get better.
So sorry, Donna. Passages . . . challenging. Sending you and Tom good thoughts.
Thanks Deb. He was not in good health so we knew this might happen but still hard to witness. I am definitely in a funk today. Hopefully it will pass.
I am so sorry to hear of Jody’s passing, Donna. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers…and in my heart.
Thanks Kathy. That helps.

How very hard it must be to lose a sibling; I’m so sorry.
Agreed. So far Tom seems to be doing better than me. But we still gave painful tasks ahead of us.
