<p><br><span class="font_xl">A huge thank you to the Santa here (far right) that works "behind the scenes." She makes Two Lane Highway look good except for the stupid hats she put on us. She's the one who gives us an online presence & tries to keep me on my toes. The other "Santa" (far left) thinks he's in charge of lighting. We picked him up in the desert somewhere. </span><br> </p>

It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to our dear friend, Enrique Brisceno, GM of Litchfield's Restaurant at the iconic Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park, Arizona. Enrique passed away this past weekend from natural causes while visiting his family and friends and "having the time of his life" in Columbia.<br><br>Every Saturday night, Bob Sheade and myself would be greeted by this dear kind man. He would always either stop by to talk to us and give us a compliment on how wonderful we sounded. If he was in a big hurry, he would give us that little salute as he went rushing by. He had a very busy demanding job that kept him constantly on the go as General Manager of the busy restaurant.<br><br>Words cannot express the sadness we feel. RIP Enrique my friend, our world will never be the same without you.</span></span></span>The Fabulous Keen Brotherstag:fabkeenbros.com,2005:Post/37678152015-07-06T16:59:25-07:002022-09-28T17:16:58-07:00Fourth of July<br><br><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/160015/1133dd8f93b91e23cbafee97de4a443ffca4b101/original/screen-shot-2015-07-06-at-3-02-48-pm.png?1436226901" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span>
