I played basketball with Brian at Miami Edison. In the 1966 Beacon yearbook we're standing next to each other in the team photo on page 231. There's also a great full page picture of him on page 230. He was a good teammate, great track athlete, and friend. Lost touch with him but remember seeing him years later after we both became lawyers.
Brian was a good man and will be missed -

Brian & I went to Miami Edison High School together. He was a year ahead of me but I remember what a great guy he was . So friendly and kind. Already you could tell he would be something special in his life. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He certainly left us far too soon.
