What can someone say when they lose a brother? What do you say to someone who has just lost their Father, Husband or Papa? All I can say is that my Brother Tim was loved by many. Tim was a part of a twosome. "The Twins". I will always refer to them as that when I talk of them. Tim taught me how to drive for the first time in the parking lot of the Tacoma mall, and I almost ran into a light pole, did he yell at me? No, he just laughed and said "go slower this time, you can do it". I did. He and Tom taught me how to ride their blue and purple stingrays with the black and silver sparkly Banana seats. He taught me how to dive at High Dive lake, and told me not to be afraid of the 40 foot high slide into the water. Water skiing, camping and fishing, all those things I remember doing with him, and those are the memories I will always remember and cherish. I will miss Tim very much. I know that he is now free from any worries,or pains in his back, or anything else. To Linda and all his kids, and grandkids, Uncle Richie is so sorry for the loss and emptiness I know you are feeling right now. I have been there also. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things you will ever experience in your life, next to losing a child or now with me, a brother. Your Father/Papa loved and cherished all you kids so much that you are whom I believe was his reason for living. You all know that you can call me and talk about anything you ever want, you know I will be there. I have lost a brother....Tom has lost a half of his soul and life partner in a twin. I cannot imagine what Tommy is feeling right now. To my brother Tom, I am sorry, and you know I love you very much. Please remember you still have ONE more brother. I know I will never be able to replace Tim, but I am here if you ever just want to talk. My brother was a precious gift to me that I will no longer have in my being, and that gift will be missed terribly. Tim you still have a long journey ahead of you and please say "hi" to our Mom, Dad and Sister Judy and Ottis for me. Do me a favor and ask them if they get my balloons every Holiday and birthday that I send to them at Midnight like clockwork, okay?. I have been doing it for over ten years now, so I know there ARE balloons in Heaven.
Love, your little
brother Richie.
Thank you for being my "big brother" I loved you very much.##imported-begin##Richard Wilson##imported-end##
