I worked with Brian for about a year when I worked at Charter. When I heard about this, it floored me. He was a great person with a big heart. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I sat next to Brian for several months at work and over that time, I was able to see the humor that was displayed with his co-workers as well as on his calls, but when I had occasion to sit near him during breaks, I was given a deeper insight to his personality through the tenderness displayed toward his wife and his obvious joy over his children which lets me know how very much he will be missed all around. I will miss seeing his smiling face around the office and I can't begin to imagine...

Sam, I am an old friend of your Aunt Glenda's. I remember you when you were a little girl. My heart goes out to you all.
Know that Brian will always be with you here, and that he has just gone on to his next journey as we all will. We will all be together again with our loved ones. May peace be with you and your family.
