Born in Mayfield, Oklahoma, Mr. Brewer lived in California for 65 years. Working as an Operating Engineer for 28 years in Orange County, he worked on projects such as building the original Disneyland and the Southern California freeway system. Upon retirement, he and his wife Sue moved to Placerville where he lived for 39 years and fulfilled his lifelong dream of raising cattle. After 20 years of successfully raising cattle, he settled down to create with his hands. He began to make canes for anyone who needed them. At the Oncology Office, he gave away more than 100 canes and he carried his handmade canes in the back of his truck in case he met someone in need. You will find his canes on show at the Train Station restaurant in Shingle Springs where he loved to eat breakfast.
