Kevin, Colan and Friends of Brian,
So sorry to hear this sad news. My best wishes to you all.
Brian was a great quarterback at Prep and a great classmate. It was fun to play with him and block for him as we put together an undefeated season in 1967 and a 23-game winning streak under Coach Earl Lavery.
