Dear Colleagues (my family).

My only brother Bruce died this morning at 5 AM.  He had just been brought home for hospice care as he was suffering from congestive heart failure and more recently cancer.  He was 73, having been born on September 4th 1936.  He lived his whole life in Meadville PA except for some work time in New Jersey and in Alaska, where as a civil engineer he worked on the Alsakan pipeline.  He loved the out of doors, walking, swimming, and hunting.  Besides civil engineering, which was always his true love, he taught in high schools in the Meadville area when there was not construction work he could do.  He is survived my his wife Carol and two sons, Tom (and his wife Carrie) who also resides in the Meadville area, and Jim, who lives in Alaska.  Judy and I are leaving Mexico today and will travel to Meadville on Monday.  Funeral plans are not complete at this time.

I am resting easy in the arms of God, and I know my brother is participating in the eternal life.

Grace and Peace,


Jack
