Sending my condolences to your family! Brian was my neighbor for the last 4 years. He was a great guy and loved just chatting whenever we saw each other. He loved bringing peanuts outside to feed the squirrels who'd come right up to him on his porch. He'd get such a kick out if it. Brian was always smiling and just happy to just see you and chat which was always a pleasure. Brian was a wealth of knowledge re sports and local history. He will definitely be missed!
