Rest in peace, Brian. I have such fond childhood memories of good times together playing badminton and croquet, and making chocolate chip cookies together. We had so much fun at family picnics at the farm, with Uncle Gene always "advising" you not to slam the screen door. They were such sweet times so long ago. May God bless you.
