I was a team mate of Brian's at Sugar Creek Swim Club, and later at Duke University. We were two of three long distance swimmers at Sugar Creek. I am sorry for your loss. It is a little shocking to find out about this now, but we lost touch. It sounds like he lived a wonderful like. Again, I am sorry. (Formerly Charlotte Johnson.)

Dear Finlay Family--
We are so saddened and shocked to hear of Brian's passing. We are reminiscing on all our years with Sugar Creek Swim Club, the travels, and the friendships formed by both swimmers and their parents. There were none better than memories of Brian. I remember being at his wedding and what a joyous occasion it was! Our thoughts, prayers and love come your way for comfort during this most difficult time.

Dear Brian's Family, This is a Duke swimming college friend of Brian. I was so dismayed to hear about your loss and will pray for you from Australia, where I have been since I graduated from Duke in 1989. I always remember Brian from our time as fellow swimmers for Coach Thompson -- and how friendly he was to everyone -- always saying hello, always smiling, always reaching out to people. God Bless You---with much love, Katharine Keough McLennan (Duke Swimming '89)

Brian was one of my teammates at Duke and was always looking out for me, always asking how I was, and listening kindly to the answer. All my love to his family.

Finlay family,
Both our daughters were patients of Dr. Finlay and they loved his energy and enthusiasm in caring for them. He will be greatly missed.
