Raise a glass with me in memory of my big brother.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

My brother and hero Charlie went to his rest twenty years ago today. He was 40 years old.

He passed away on my birthday.

Cheers, bro. :toast:

Oh sweetie...

My heart goes out to you tonight...

To lose your beloved big brother on your birthday...

Damn, that has to hurt, big time...

Here's to Charlie! May his memory ever be green! :toast:



And how could I nearly forget?


Happy Birthday to you!

I hope today was a wonderful day...(Or is your birthday on Saturday?)

And I hope that this coming year will see all your impossible dreams come true!

6. It's Saturday, June 7.

I'm now 53, btw. That would have made him 59 (his birthday was in September).

I don't really celebrate any more- too many memories.

15. so young

what happened?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

18. Complications due to diabetes

Also a weak heart- he had contracted rheumatic fever at the age of 12, many years before there was effective treatment for such things.

He spent a lot of years in pain. He also fathered two strong boys before he left us.

He was simply the strongest man I ever knew.

20. consider it done!

One of my uncles died this year, and if you loved your brother like my dad loved his, I know it must be tough for you. I don't know what I'd do without my older brother. I'll have one for you too, buddy! Bless you for remembering him so fondly.
