Rest Easy Brothers. Thoughts and prayers to their families, I can't imagine how difficult today must be.

I remember that Sunday afternoon like it was yesterday, listening to it and watching it on tv at work as a probie. Those 3 funerals were my first LODD experiences and what a profound impact it has had on me. I believe 15,000-20,000 brothers attended the funerals, one on one day, two back to back on another.

Who knew, what would transpire less than 3 months later, where it was impossible for that type of turnout at each funeral over that following year.

I hope Downing's, Fahey's and Ford's families are well. I believe there were 8 children amongst the 3 Men. I wonder if any have followed in their Father's footsteps or plan on doing so. Hope they had a peaceful day, God Bless the Men and their familes.
