I have known Brian since we were young teens. He was a great guy. We spent a lot of our youth together and did remain friends after all these years. My heart goes out to his wife Lisa. I know they were meant to be together - she was truly his other half. Condolences to Lisa and Brian's family.

Brian had a big heart, he was always there to help others. We especially remember all the years we spent with Brian and Lisa at Lake Berryessa, playing Horseshoes, fishing and hanging at the cove. We loved him and will surely miss him deeply. Love Dana and Nancy
