RIP Brian. I am still in shock about your death. I enjoyed our debates about the Dallas Cowboys and I came to know you as more than an "executive". My deepest condolences are extended to you family.

We are heavy-hearted about the loss of Brian. We all have so many fun, and treasured memories of time shared with Brian and his family - whether it was golfing at the GTO, or the highly anticipated annual Walton family visit to our home for many summers - there were always laughs, and love. To Anita, Jack, Tim, Sarah, and Claire we are so very saddened for you. We will be forever grateful to Brian for bringing such cherished friends into our lives.
Much love to all of you,
