Joanne and family. We can't tell you how sad we are to hear of Brian's passing. We believed he was indestructible. Never was there a happier, friendlier, more welcoming man than Brian. All of my family starting with our parents, then us, then our children, and then our grandchildren all knew and liked Brian. Never did any of us walk by and not have a conversation with Brian. We pray he is at peace and we will pray for him and his family. He will be missed greatly.
