My brother and I have a mutual friend named Vincent who lived with Brian at A Very Special Place. Whenever we´d visit, we would all talk about The Beatles and music. He would sometimes call us on the telephone so we could talk some more about the subject. I´d even see him at my doctor´s office where we´d, yet again, talk about music. He was a great person and a lot of fun to be around.

God speed, Brian.
