I worked with Branch for many years at the University of Dayton. He was nice, funny, sincere, and a joy to work with as he did many electrical projects in our student neighborhood. My sincere condolences to his family and especially to his wife Victoria and daughter Hayden. Gina Greenwood

Very sorry to hear of Branch's passing. It's been many years since I have seen Branch but he comes to mind in several fond memories of South Ripley basketball. Branch and I were team mates for a few years and Branch was a natural born athlete. Branch was the kind of guy you couldn't help but like. He will be sadly missed by many. My deepest sympathy to the Howard family.

I am so sad to hear about Branch. I would see him when he came in to do work at UD. He would always stop and talk about Vicki and Hayden. There was never a conversation that he didn't say how happy he was and how amazed and proud he was of Hayden. He truly cherished his family. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of your husband's untimely death, Vicki. I say untimely only because no one knows the date and time for anyone's end of their time on this Earth. But, God is in control of all things and He knows all things, and your husband's death did not take Him by surprise. He knew it before he was born. Please know that Branch is with Jesus now and getting all of his questions answered. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Lean on Him these dark days. He is there closer to you all right now than anyone else. May God give you peace these days. Wendy (from Cols Probation)

Dear Vicki,
I was so sorry to hear of Branch's passing. You and Hayden have been on my mind since I heard and in my prayers. You are one of the strongest women I know; you have faced your own battles and overcome so much. I pray for your strength and Hayden's and that during this darkest time, you will feel God's love and constant presence.
With love, Melanie

Vicki & Hayden, so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to believe this happened. I so enjoyed the time I worked for Branch. He was like part of my family. I will miss his phone calls asking me if I was home so he could stop in & we would catch up on our families. I will forever miss this happening. May God bless you both & keep you in his loving arms.
