C.B. was raised in the the Agate & Deer Trail community on a prominent purebred

of life. While working as a real estate agent, C.B. raised his four children in Strasburg,

C.B. cherished time spent with his family and enjoyed traveling, playing cribbage, and
his Nash Metropolitan collector cars.

C.B. never met a stranger, was loved and admired by all who knew him, saw only the
