Today, our family lost a good one. Churchill Brauninger was a bartender, a musician, a husband, a puppy whisperer, a mentor, a friend, and a ray of sparkling sunshine. He and his wife Elizabeth were also some of the first members of USBG Tucson when our little chapter opened its doors. We'll keep his memory alive with every shot of Rebel Yell, every trip to Saint Charles Tavern, every hug we share with each other. We love you, Church, and we'll hold you in our hearts forever.
