Brian,
I've looked for you over the years, but even Google couldn't find you.i know that would make you smile. Your infamous smile in the picture above says it all. You always had that smile followed by "What?" I am heartbroken to see you here. So sorry to see you've been called home too soon for those of us left behind. My deepest condolences to the Montgomery family. He was always the life of the party arriving in style back in the day... in the Sebring convertible and with his dog, She was often waiting in the driver's seat for his return. Whom the gods love dies young for reasons we cannot comprehend. RIP Brian until we meet again my dear friend.
