A Sad Moment in My Life.

[Tom Earp]

While I have only told two Brothers, who I hold, very close.

My Father Passed away Suddenly last Wed. He was doing something He should have not been doing, cutting shrubs. It was hot, and He was on Oxygen 24/7 and tired easily.

But the main reason that I have placed this on Site is for the fact that while never a Member of LXA, He knew of Brothers from My College Days When Mom Was still alive. They used to come over to the House and Were Always big backers of Me in doing what I did and New Many Brothers of LX Z.

Dad Did know even though He Never Ment them, Many Brothers of LXA and GC as I talked to Him every Sun.

He knew of Jono as We talked about Him in our conversations a lot, Andy A. as Some one I was Proud to have met and what He has done. Shawn Harmer for things I couldnt tell Him.
But, I did mention everyone who was at GA and what a Great Time I had in meeting with each one.

He was as Happy as I was. He Live through Me when it came to LXA. He never went to College as I was the Very First of My whole Family.

When I started BX, they would come down and be part of it and were Proud of Their Eldest Son. They Knew All of the Brothers of BX and Then LXA.

Maybe Mom was the proudest, as Dad didnt say much. But, they would drag Relatives down to Home Coming to See what a Great Thing it Was. Tom being The First in College and doing something that They had no clue about. They Learned and Loved. Chided Brothers for the House not being clean (MOM) and Dad Just Smilling. He knew, Guys Will be guys or Just saying, "Hey Guys, Moms Want to see a clean place"! "How were You brought up?".

GOD, I so Miss Him. He Would Have Been A Great LXA Brother.

Actually, He Knew How I Love LXA and My Many Brothers and He was totally for it. I was afraid to tell Him I was going to Indy GA, not just going, but the Money I was spending to go.

His words were, Well Son, I know How You Feel and If You want to go do it! First one I called and He said Glad You had a Great Time! That is what means so much to You!

Andy, Jono, thank you for the kind words!
