Just today we learned of Brian's death earlier this month...he was a memorable neighbor and will be missed! Often seen walking Enzo around the neighborhood, Brian was always friendly with a smile or encouragement to share. When our granddaughter went around the neighborhood selling Girl Scout cookies; collecting donations for the Heart Association; or school fund raisers, Brian always had a kind word along with a purchase to help out. Wishing you the best in your new great adventure...

I remember all of us hanging around the campfire playing guitars and singing. I watched as tears of joy flowed from his and Cheryl's eyes as their daughter Emily sang the most amazing version of an Eva Cassidy song. It brought tears to my eyes and filled me with joy.

I did not get to know Brian as well as I had hoped. I did, however, get to spend a few very enjoyable evenings with him as well as a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf.

You have my condolences,, I'm so sorry for the loss of your love one, may the loving support of family, friends and prayers sustain you through this very difficult time. 2nd. Corinthians 1:3, 4

I had the pleasure of working with Brian and not only was he a great story teller, he also loved to pull pranks. RIP Brian.

Thank you for the great memories. You were a great boss & friend.

Brian was the best neighbor in the world. I am so saddened to hear of this. I always enjoyed talking with him over the fence...he is going to be missed. He was a very sweet man, and it was my good fortune to know him.
