    This last Saturday my big brother Al lost his year long fight to brain cancer. It took me awhile in my life to figure out God gives us brothers as dear friends. The kind you can always count on. Alan played tenor sax in my fathers Polka Band, he had his pilots license and while he struggled in some aspects of his life he always was there for me. He leaves behind his son Chris and joins his wife Kelly and my father Bill Sr. in our heavenly kingdom. You will be missed bro

    I am very sorry to hear the sad news. I too lost my best friend (brother) to cancer a few years ago. If it is any solace, there are a lot of people praying for you and your family to help you through this difficult grieving process.

    I’m sorry for your loss. I never had a brother and I always wonder what I was missing. Your statements about Al made me realize how special a brother can be. May your memories of him last forever.
