Of all the memories of my childhood, many included my cousins from Grand Rapids.I still cherish the times Brian would show up at our door in Riverside, with or without a friend, with that big smile,ready to go to Riverview or the museums "Downtown". Loved it. It hasn't been an easy journey for you, just hold onto the good times.
Love you

My name is Bruce Klassen. Brian and I grew up together as I lived at 1516 Orville St. We had many things in common such as model making, the HO trains you mention, and a love of sports.
When we moved from G.R. in 1964 to Los Angeles and subsequently around the country with my work we lost touch. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. At our age we now find it sad we hadn't kept in closer touch over all these years. We too now have children. many grandchildren and great grandchildren and I...

Pat & Family, Jim and I are so sorry to hear about Brian. We will always remember the fun time we had at the Family Reunion in Grand Rapids. Brian's trains were a big hit for us and our kids. Spending the weekend with You, Brian & your whole family was so enjoyable. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

Nielson family, We will always remember Brian for his friendliness, and laughter. He gave so much of his time for projects at our former church, working with him was always memorable. We are sorry we cannot be with you at this time, but our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God's grace give you peace.

Pat,
It has been a long time since I saw you and Brian at the Tarry House. I have often wondered how you folks were doing. Most every day I would make the "trek" across the street from the McKay Tower to get my morning coffee.
You have my deepest sympathy at your loss.
