Thank you for your support and prayers

I will be taking a break from the campaign trail for the weekend. As many of you know, my brother passed away about a month ago. We appreciate all who have offered support and prayers. After a difficult month, our family is laying him to rest today in a small service in CT and spending a couple of days together. Hold your family close, as life can change in an instant.

It is with great sadness that we are sharing with you the completely unexpected loss of our amazing, passionate and loving brother, Bobby (Bob Westerlund), this past weekend. He lived and loved with great passion and intensity. Bobby had a larger than life presence in every situation, and could talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

A patent attorney by trade, a devourer of knowledge by heart. A traveller in the best sense of the word. Someone who lost so much when his baby daughter Veronica died in 1994 and when his wife Sandi died in 2022, with many dear friends lost along the way. He grieved as hard as he lived. A generous, hardworking dad who wanted nothing more than to talk to his children Jensen and Kyrie every day.

We will all miss him immensely yet know he is and will remain in our thoughts and hearts forever. Please keep Kyrie, Jensen, our parents and all of our family in your thoughts and prayers.
