Gigi, Ally and Nick,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked many years with Brian at Ellerbe Becket and enjoyed every minute! He worked hard, but knew the value of making friends at work. He had an contagious smile that I will forever remember.

I just got back into town to receive the news. I won't even pretend to imagine what you must be going through. Of course I did not know Brian that well but you realy don't have to know him for too long to see that he was a great guy. My condolences.
