I just heard of Brian's passing. I am so sorry to have learned this. I have wonderful memories of Brian. I will miss him dearly. We first met each other when Brian worked in Eau Claire and reconnected again in the Twin Cities. Brian always made me laugh and we had great conversations. We shared an appreciation of Amy Grant and her music. I send my sympathies to Brian's entire family! The world has lost a great person.
