I had the privilege of working side by side with Brian for many years on the Habitat for Humanity Tucson build-site. We spent many of breaks chatting away about the many journeys he had been on. He had incredible wit and was always smiling as we worked away. He will be missed by the construction volunteers. I will think of him every-time I pas his name in the office where he is honored on the wall of Habitat volunteer rock-stars!

Dear Joan, I was saddened to hear of Brian’s death. We had such good times birding together in the 1990s. Some very funny memories. I know the last few years were hard. Be of stout heart and I hope to see you soon.
