Just about a week ago, my brother Freddie passed away after a long and valiant battle with illness.
Fred was involved in manufacturing for his entire life, and worked his way up from the shop floor to top-level management positions with some really great local companies throughout his career.
If all of this sounds a bit too familiar to you, it's because this is my third funeral in about 18 months.
Fred's wife passed away just six months ago...and he was really struggling living on his own for the first time in 70 years.
Add the illness, and its been a long six months.
Anyways, I asked the church if they could possibly record my eulogy that I delivered. Just before it was my turn to speak, a wonderful letter and poem that was written by his niece was read...so, I start off by kidding her about trying to "compete" with someone who took the time to write a poem.
So here you go: My Tribute to my brother....Fred Kerner.
