There is a lot to be said about the man that can create a long line to the church door. A town practically shut down today to honor Brian Peck. Friends and family gathered and laughed and cried while reminiscing about Hans. He was called an amazing father, a best friend to his wife, a hard worker and the man with the biggest heart and even bigger smile. We heard funny tales about fatherhood and were reminded that his laughter would live on in the laughter of his sons. His boys spoke of the devoted and kind father that they were lucky to have. It was summed up in a quote by Caitlin that if the boys were half the father that he was then their children would be lucky.
I have watched little boys grow up into the men that they are today. They work hard. They play hard. They honor their parents. They respect the women in their lives. They are best friends and devoted brothers and sons. You've never received a better hug from anyone. They hunt, fish, camp and hike...respecting nature always. They laugh...OH, they laugh. They value holidays and traditions. They make time for what is important. They are loyal and honest to a fault. They are brave and blunt. They are kind and tender. Family always comes first. They will argue for something they believe in but never turn their backs if they disagree. They drink and eat with vigor. They are smart. They are compassionate. They are sports freaks. They are funny. Hysterically funny. They grow amazing gardens. They cook. They forgive. They love. They make the time count. Brian is responsible for so much of this and though his time was cut drastically short...the time was well spent. Quality not quantity. He will be missed by many but for my children will always be a sweet story, a big smile, a loud laugh and an uncle away.
