married Byrons older brother - Bruce in 1978. Tiny (Byrons favorite nickname) became part of my family. My 4 boys adored Uncle Tiny and he was very generous with his time with them. His health suffered quite a bit in his last years and his mobility decreased. Tiny was often seen parked in his brown van in front of our house visiting with Bruce & the boys. We miss Byron very much, but his generosity lives on. He left some proceeds that we have used to assist family members and do many home improvements for their mom. I know Byron had many friends who miss him too!
