Dear Bonnie, Brian and Megan
I am so very sorry for your loss. When they talk about someone who made the world a better place, they were speaking of Brian. In all of the 38 years I have known him, I have never met anyone who was not touched by his humor or sincerity. He had a way about him that endeared him to anyone he met, The world has lost a truly good man. I know he is in Heaven with a smile on his face when he is telling the angels about our funny tennis escapades.
