My Brother

Post by Darrel Graves »

A great loss has occurred in my family, my oldest Brother has passed away leaving a huge void in my life. He was a Guitar, Banjo, and Mandolin teacher with quite a few students. He retired from the Navy as Chief Gunners Mate and was in charge of the weapons and munitions for Seal Team Six when they were on board his Ship. He accomplished many different things in his 81 years. Pilot, over the road Trucker, Artist, sold and instructed flight for the Six Shooter Powered Parachutes, and many other things too numerous to mention. I'll miss him the most when I play Battlefield 2 (an on line first person shooter game). We always played Team Work and had each others back. I love you my Brother and miss you every day. I will see you on the Battlefield when Jesus returns with His Saints on White Horses and we fight against Satan and his followers. Some of his videos are on You Tube....Google Larry Graves Guitar music
May the road rise up to meet you.... May the wind always be at your back....May the Sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand

What a resume your brother had!
You didn’t post the part saying “Brother & Best Friend to Darryl Graves”.
God bless you and your family.
