even though it's been more than 10 years since Brian's passing, I still think of him and how he was always ready and willing to help out in any way he could. my time as program director at the old WEIM radio in Fitchburg was made so much easier and more enjoyable knowing that Brian was always there to lend a hand when needed. He even volunteered at his own expense to drive all the way to Berlin NH and conduct community ascertainment surveys when we were interested in buying a radio station there. his positive outlook and helpful demeanor is still greatly missed.

Brian was a true friend for over 30 years. Never asking for anything, aways willing to give. I wouldn't see him for years but if he saw me in a store he always came over and spoke to me. I will miss knowing he isn't out there anymore and hockey games will be a little less enjoyable.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Brian was a good person and he put up a valiant fight against his many health problems. He finally surrendered and is hopefully at peace. I miss him because we used to talk politics by phone and I enjoyed his active mind.
