I'm so sorry I just recently became aware of Brian's passing. I met Brian in 1978 while working as a stock boy at Moskatels in Torrance. In fact, he trained me. We had so much fun goofing off while doing our jobs. I lost track of Brian after leaving Moskatels for another job, and before joining the Los Angeles Police Department In 1980. I will always remember Brian for the good times we had working together. Godspeed my friend.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Hoffmann family. I hope you will find comfort in God's promise at John 11: 24 & 25. Knowing there is a future for those we have lost in death can be very reassuring during this difficult time.
