He sounds like a wonderful brother and friend. Sorry for your loss...so happy for your cherished memories. Take care.

Thanks John. Yes, he was both a wonderful brother and friend. Parks often pitch the memories that guests can make there. It is so true.

Thank you for sharing such a meaningful and fun tribute to your brother. You can see really his personality shining through in the photos you chose!

It's so funny that someone who worked in ground transportation would be a ride wimp, but maybe there was something about the loss of control (I feel that!). Love and condolences to you, and safe travels to Robert. <3

Thanks for sharing about your family! It sucks and is not fair when someone is taken too soon.

BTW, I noticed recently that there is still a mechanical horse ride at the local Meijer supermarket here in Ohio. My kids rode it over 20 years ago, and it is still there. And, I think it is still 1 penny! (Or maybe it's a dime now.)
