Dear David, Richard, Ann and Susan. As part of the old neighborhood and longtime Troop One member I am very sorry to learn about Brian. I have great memories of your brother. He was always easy-going and enjoyed good times together on all the great troop one trips. Ken and I reminisced some of the times we all had when we heard the news. Brian will be missed and always remembered as part of the scouting family. May peace be with Brian and your family.

I have fond memories of Brian, Richard and David, from our time together in Troop 1 Hingham BSA. Scouting was a great experience for me and these guys made it fun. Summer camp, ice fishing at Camp Child, trips up Monadnock and the White Mountains a hundred campouts and hikes. Brian old friend it's time to rest.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Southwick Family. I have so many wonderful memories of Brian, such as the Saco River, hiking the White Mountains, Calf Island, Easter Egg Hunts on the beach, Florida at Christmas time, 4th of July gatherings at this house..the list just goes on. His smile will never be forgotten. He always had a great attitude! Memories of Brian will never be forgotten. Yor brother was truly a kind man and will be missed by many.

I guess the memory that stands out in my mind is Goimg down The Saco River, It was my first time I think, but it wasn't his....I think he ended up very wet that year...and of course there is the memory of the house in Weymouth that many of us lived in at one point or another..The floors so cold that your feet stuck to them in the the winter.....Many good times with him and memories to fill all our hearts with a giggle or 2, I am so sorry for the loss but am glad to have him as part of my fondest memories.....Love to all, Becky (Potter) Hulbert
