This is Aubrey´s brother, Don, and I am using email traffic on Aubrey´s laptop to inform friends I can identify that Aubrey left us yesterday afternoon. I think you know he has been suffering multiple medical problems in recent years and on Saturday the cumulative illnesses won the battle.
He was in the Landstuhl hospital palliative care unit at the end and we held his hands as he died peacefully and without pain.
Thank you for being his friends.
Best Regards to all,
Don Holmes

I remember the two of you living together in Newport News, while you worked at the shipyard.
Aubrey was in my life, off and on until 1982, while he was living in Germany.
I loved and adored him for 20 years, but our life paths just couldn't cross. I believe he loved me, too.
Oh my goodness, the things I learned from him. I was fortunate to spend some time with your parents while Aubrey was on leave.
And how much he loved his baby brother.
We're all old now, but he is forever my sweetheart .
He was the epitome of a tough guy, with a sweet heart.
I hope to see him in heaven.... Collapse
