Brian was a quiet Ignatian from the fabled S. I. class of 1955 and from a San Francisco very different from the one we know today. A special person from a special time.
Requiescat in pace.

I have known Uncle Brian for over 50 years. I grew up with the Sullivan Family. He was a kind and gentle man. Rest In Peace.
