My Brother Ron.......................

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

My Brother Ron.......................

Post by gmusic »

I was informed today that my oldest brother has stage 4 colon cancer. He served in Vietnam. He went in a naïve, talented and promising young man. He came back his youth stolen; a disillusioned and confused lost soul. Please remember Ron and all of those that gave all they had to give, in your prayers.

I locked this thread because the emotion overwhelms me. It's easier this way.

Ron (on left) passed away on August the 29th.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and support during this time. Ron gave his heart back to Jesus before he died, the most important decision of his life.

He was my big brother....................................

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, I do appreciate them.

It's the injustice of his death that troubles me so. His cancer was directly linked to "agent orange" the mixture of chemicals used to defoliate in Vietnam.

Someday I'll get my head and heart back into knifemaking.
