They wouldn't do surgery because his extremely weak condition. prior he fought cancer twice and he opted for the strongest chemo that they could do. his wife died from cancer also. he was 83. we did not know that we were brothers, but we had met at the steel company that he and myself both worked for. I was a draftsman and he worked in the fabrication (13 acres) indoor plant. we found out by accident that we were actually brothers

oh my, Richard, I'm so sorry...you'd just posted about his return illness, a few uploads ago. I'm terribly sorry. It sounds like he was overwhelmed with too many things, and passing was probably merciful. My deepest condolences to you and your family, and all who knew him. (And how sad that he lost his wife to the same disease.) Your story of how you discovered that he was your brother is amazing: That's something from a storybook. I'm glad you discovered each other, and I hope your time together was full, and blessed for you both. I'm very sorry; and I wish peace to him, and to all of you who knew and loved him. Much light to you all.

My condolences on the loss of your brother! You have quite a story to tell in how you found out you were related to each other. Although he is gone from this plain I believe he is thriving in another one and is no doubt much happier there. Take comfort in your memories and know that some time in the future, you will meet again. I am praying for you and your brother!

Sincerest condolences on your loss. I will offer up a prayer for you and yours tonight. My heart breaks.
Cool that you found each other. I was adopted, so sometimes I wonder if I have any other half-brothers/sisters out in the world. I've come to the conclusion that I should just treat everyone I meet as if they are family.
It is a beautiful photo.

Oh, Richard, I am so sorry to read of your loss, my friend. But it was a real blessing for the two of you to discover you were brothers. He is at peace now, and free from the pain and suffering. I've had those kidney stones, and that can be miserable. You are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.
You have a beautiful memorial photo here for him. I'm sure he's smiling as he looks at it.

To find a brother late is already tragic; so many years of friendship building have been lost during childhood age. To lose your brother from a long series of health challenges, it must be heartbreaking. I am unable to retain my tears; so many memories of departed loved ones, came back to me.
