If I do any updating to this, I will try to add it to this first post

My friend Keith LaBrozzi called me this AM and told me of some tragic news regarding his first born Son Keith LaBrozzi Jr.

His Son was shot and killed defending his Girlfriend when she left work Sunday night. He was just 24 yrs. old. Here is a link to his local newspaper with the entire story: www.lufkindailynews.com There is also a sign-up book online so you can instantly give your condolences to his entire Family, and you can find that here: Online register

I met Keith on eBay and on these boards and we have become like brothers. I talk to him on the phone about coins and whatever comes to mind almost daily, not everyday, but sometimes. I met him and his wife in Vegas, and then just recently I met his entire family in Lufkin when I went to Texas for a vacation. I had the priviledge of meeting his Son Keith (J.R.). I thought he was a great Guy.

The reason I'm posting this here is because sometimes coins come second. Keith told me that d/t these unfortunate circumstances, he might be selling off his collection of coins. I will keep you posted to this and I will assist Keith with whatever I can to help him do this if he decides to.

Keith's e-mail address is: LaBrozzi1958@consolidated.net if you decide you would like to drop him an e-mail. If you want to send him something, send me a PM and I will forward his home address.

Keith...You and Your Family are in my prayers!

Paul.

Later, Paul.

    Mere words can't express my sadness for this tragic event.
    My hearts with the LaBrozzi family, may you find some peace in your sons brave act.
    And to the young lady who witnessed Keith JR's sacrifice for his love of her.
    He gave you a gift, accept it, grieve for him, then move forward and live a good, long, and happy life.
    He loved you enough, that he would want nothing less for you.
    And for you to do less, would be a waste of his life.

    As for the predator, may tough Texas law deal harshly with him.

    Reality bites!

    I am deeply saddened that a young man's life has been snuffed out needlessly.

    On the other hand it really ticks me off. The person that did this will pay dearly.

    My prayers are with the Family.

    Rest in Peace, Keith.

    How very tragic! As a parent, my heart goes out to Keith!

    I have faith in the Texas Juducial System that equal justice will be given to the perpetrator of this violent and senseless act!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    There is nothing worse and nothing more unnatural than for a parent to lose a child. We human beings are made to be strong enough to handle the death of our parents, but the death of one's child is an incomprehensible loss. Ordinarily I find some consolation in the phrase, "and this too shall pass," but in this case I can only offer my deepest sympathies.

    I collect 20-slab, blue plastic PCGS coin boxes. To me, every empty box is like a beating heartimage NOT.

    People come up sometimes, and ask me, G99G, are you kidding? And I answer them no, I am NOT KIDDING.

    I read the article and the felony complaint. This purely sucks.

    My deepest condolences to the family, and may the perpetrator rot in Hell.

    The little town of Lufkin, Texas has been very kind to Keith and his Family, as hundreds of people have paid their respects.

    Keith said it was S.R.O. at the church, with people lined outside of the front doors! Its wonderful to hear that people have rallied with support in their time of need.

    Later, Paul.
