I also met Brian at Household Credit and it turned out that he lived down the street from me on Ashling St. We would talk about baseball, I a Giants fan and he loved the Cinncinati Reds, he wanted to see them in the World Series, which I would say, it will never happen, but he was a.true fan.

Met Brian when we started at Household. Many of us had several years of work and family gatherings we shared. So sorry for the loss of Brian. Although we had not seen each other in several years, I will hold a special place in my heart for him. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

Brian and I worked together at Household Credit Services in Las Vegas: we worked on polices along with many other task throughout the day. During our time together we would prank each other along with a few others. Unfortunately we had people taking candy out of our drawer after we would leave for the day. So we felt the need to to replace our candy with fish flavored candy for a few days to see how much they would enjoy it. Funny, it stopped!! Our company would also have contest for Halloween so I made a Cousin It costume which won: Brian wanted to barrow it so he could go to a contest that night, I can't remember if he won but I know he had a great time. The other thing Brian is very well known for is playing ball. He was part of Households first softball team here in Las Vegas: we were all out practicing one day while Brian was hitting balls to the outfield someone asked me a question after I turned from answering it Brian's ball hit me right between the eyes. After practice we all gathered at mine and Steve's house like was always did, joked around and had a few laughs about it. When Brian moved we didn't talk a lot as time gets away from you. However we did talk on messenger once in awhile. What I do know is that you will be dearly missed my friend.

Brian and I worked at Household Credit Services together for several years. We worked side by side doing policy's along with other things. We had fun during the day as we pranked each other along with others. We had a problem with people taking hard candy out of our desk after we left for the day. We felt the need to replace our candy with fish flavored candy for a few days to see how long it took them to stop taking it. We would dress up for Halloween at work: one year I made a Cousin It costume and won the contest at work: Brian wanted it so he could go out after work to a party and I think he won something. Most of all Brian was part of the very first Household softball team in Las Vegas. We always had so much fun together: we were all practicing one day while Brian was hitting balls to the outfield: someone asked me a question, I had answered them and when I turned around Brian's ball hit me right between the eyes. After it was all said and done we went back to our house had a few drinks and laughed about. Once Brian moved we didn't talk as much as we should have, however we would talk on messenger once in awhile. I will miss you Brian and thank you for the fun times we had.
