Brian was a great guy..Always came into my home (daycare) with a smile for all, the kids, not just his own loved him..always taking time for the other children when he came to pick up his own two amazing son's. Brian was well loved by his family and friends. Brian and Leslie both take the time to care for others, and to teach their children to be caring an respectful individuals and that says alot for the kind of person Brian was. God Bless you all..
