Brian was probably the best boss I've had. While working together at Flygt Corp., he was my mentor, teacher, and friend. He will be missed.

As Brian´s departure is a great loss to family and friends I as a cousin had an added pleasure of meeting with him at trade shows and the like as our livelihoods brought us together and for that I´m very grateful as he was always a fun, warm person to talk with and be around! They´ll always be a void without him around. Love and deepest condolences to you all. Sincerely cousin Mike Sheehan
