Just now sitting here I started to think about my brother John missing him and suddenly the realization hit me of ANYBODY I have ever known in all my life he was the most unique of all! Of any person HE was the most humblest, kindest, loyal and trustworthy. Possessing a quality of love that I could never attain. He never spoke with slander or malice of anyone, even if that person offended him in a most grievous way. I remember the many times he spent the entire day helping me, never asking for anything in return and I remember how he loved to eat good food, especially my cooking on special occasions. By God when you look back he even ate with class. He was never one for idle chatter but when he cracked a joke you fell on the floor laughing. I remember when our mom was in the hospital the last two+ years of her life, he spent all day 7 days a week there with her keeping her company, playing cards (they both loved cards) with her. The pain he felt when she died, he carried inside him being more concerned for our sisters pain. He worked hard and he suffered the illness that took his life without complaining to anyone. What I have said is only a fraction of the kind benevolent qualities of John. Before he died we had a plan. I was beginning to arrange my retirement at 57 he was a year younger. I was in the process of buying a home in Connecticut and he was going to come and live there. Told him he would never have to pay rent again and he was only 10 minutes away from his beloved roulette wheel. We got cheated, he died and I lost the finest friend a man could have my brother. I do believe in God but not heaven and hell and I believe in the re-incarnation of the spirit, so as I sit here reminiscing about my brother John I know his spirit is here now with me helping me.
