I will always treasure my memories of Brian, a dear high school friend. We had lunch about ten years ago in San Francisco, telling stories about those days and laughing our heads off. He was a wonderful, warm, and loving man. He will be terribly missed by all of us.



With deep sympathy

I found out the news from a friend of his thru e-mail. I so wish I'd have known. I'd have broken land speed records to be there.

It has been such an honor for me to be one of Brian's many devoted friends. Our Monday night get-togethers over the past several years have been such a blessing to me. I miss Brian so much....but I know he's having a wonderful time at the Other Side Disco!



Much love,
