Hard to believe the world has been without your kindness and humor for eight years now. You are remembered fondly by many. As your old high school roommate at Midland School, I will always recall with a grin the great times we had.
The world has gone nuts in your absence. Play us some soothing heavenly piano.

Hard to believe it has been three years, old roomie. I can still see you playing the piano in Stillman Hall, and I remember that grin of yours. You are deeply missed.

Dear Brian, You were a friend to dogs and man alike. You certainly changed our life for the better. You will be in our thoughts today with your laugh and good humor, and some peaceful paws from our doggie friends.
For your family, we also send heartfelt wishes for peace and comfort.
Love and sympathy, Mark Millard and Melody Mason

Oh Brian,
It's going on 10 years we've known each other. It's taken me a while to write this message as it just makes it too real for me. You have the kindest heart and I couldn't have made it through my broken foot and Pugsley's passing without you. You started as my dog sitter and quickly became my friend and family. Kyra misses you, too. I am still processing everything and hope you know what you meant to me, Pugsley and Kyra throughout all of these years. I know your spirit will remain in Marin and I'll look to you for guidance!! You will truly be missed, my friend. All my love, Kelly.
We all love you and miss you horribly.

I have been friends with my dear Brian for 35 years the impression that he made on my life was so huge an impact. Brian made me laugh make me sing he supported my art he supported my music he supported me in every way that I would ever hope a brother could be to me without having been born into a family with boys I was able to enjoy the joy of having a brother in my life for so long he will be sorely missed.

My condolences. Really appreciated Brian's sense of humor. He was always fun to be around. Enjoyed creating a video with him that was aired on national TV show in 2000 and may be watched on Youtube. Naturally it involves pets. A fun and most fitting legacy: Cute Dogs "exercising" on Treadmill with "trainer" Brian Bullard.

Brian was my roommate our sophomore year at Midland School. He was one of the funniest, coolest, most easygoing cats I've known. We were a terrible influence on one another, and lowered the bar for sloth, degradation and general lassitude. We had a blast. Onward to the Light, roomie.

I have lost my best friend. Brian was made by God to make people laugh, be happy, and be entertained. He cared so much for others before himself. His generosity was legendary. Even though we are grown men he kept me in touch with my child side. Always saying his signature, " Dooode! What,s up Broski!! I have been incorporated saying " Dooode!!" almost daily to someone else daily since I met Brian 25 years ago. I hope to hear Brian welcome me to the Pearly Gates this way playing his killer blues piano licks when it,s my time. I love you brother DOOODE!!

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He was such a sweet soul and could play the piano by ear as well as Mamaw. He was a gift to us all. I am here if any of you need me for anything. Love you all,
Laurie, Worley.

I am shocked to hear the news of Brians passing .We were neibors in Larkspur for 10 years.He liked my dog Suki a lot .He gave her a nick name (The Stiyler) .He was always so generous .He would get a family size Pizza .And share with every one .We had quite the little couminty behind the Lark theator .I don't think there was a mean bone in his entire body. Always willing to share what he had with others.Willing to drive people places. Now the piano man is gone.The world became a little darker.A Less friendly place on September 30th. Good By Old Friend.

I always called you "Brain" - I miss you so VERY much -I am comforted and smiling KNOWING there IS GREAT MUSIC going on IN HEAVEN now!
I have so many heartfelt & sweet memories of us ...... I keep hearing you in my head saying: "Suz!!! what's HAPnin!!?"
Man, we had some great times together growing up, hanging at the beach, at your house when I lived there briefly, teaching you driving skills, having you over for many thanksgivings...I will ALWAYS treasure the vision of you IMMEDIATELY sitting down to tickle those ivory's the moment you walked into ANY oom with a piano!
And your laughter! YOUR laughter was genuinely contagious - your deep love of family, friends, animals and nature were unforgettable - however the thing that touches my heart and soul is your generosity ! You found old family photos and would copy them and bring them right over, and when you came, you brought drinks, snacks and stories.....
YOU lit up a room Brain, and touched SOOOO many -
You will always be close to my heart. & soul, and I'll see ya when I get there.....Love YOUR CUZ, SUZ
