We say goodbye to a friend who is now at peace. He is with his wife whom he has missed so dearly. The contributions he has made while on this earth have been many and he touched more lives with his kindness than he could ever have imagined. He will be missed not only by his family but by the friends who cared for him so much.

Katie and I knew Brian through friends at the campground in Otis. He was always jovial and kind, and willing to "share" his wonderful dog with our children. His warm laughter will be greatly missed.

Our condolances go out to his large circle of family and friends.
