BIG BROTHER: You were certainly the "cowboy" of all five of us boys growing up. There was no horse you could not ride! Our country called you to serve in the military and you did her proud. I thought of you from time to time during my high school days. Elaine still talks of Your WILD sense of humor and cheerfulness when we gather with family and friends. I am proud to have been your blood and military brother. God speed. We will soon be the "five" Cowboys again.
