I would like to extend my deepest sympathy on behalf of my family towards to Brian's family....he was my cousin and years after his father passed away, my family lost touch with his and we had tried for years to contact someone, but to no avail...we just recently found out that Brian had passed on and wanted to say how very sorry we were to hear of this news. If Bonnie or Barbara happen to read this contact Laurie Dexter at [email protected]

Donna,
I worked with Brian for a bit in CCU at SOCH- I always admired his sense of humor, his laugh, and his smile-which he even displayed in the hospital in the midst of his battle. I am so sorry for your loss. But, I truly believe his fight is over now and he is at peace and that you will meet again-take comfort in that.

Brian was an excellent nurse, a great person, and terrific friend. He showed great courage until the end in his fight with his disease. He will be sorely missed.
