Brian was one of the kindest, most patient men I have ever come to know. He befriended me, shared his wonderful son with me, and was always around to joke, talk, and exchange spiritual encouragement for a range of life's hurdles. I am so saddened by this news, and I will be a friend to Cameron for as long as I live.
