I asked Brian to teach for us at St. Louis Community College and he was gracious enough to accept. I was always impressed by the feedback I would receive from his students who described him in the most positive complementary ways possible. He had a passion for sharing the joy of aviation that was evident in his teaching.

Brian was a very special member on our Board. Loving. Giving..... We will miss him terribly. He contributed his life to general aviation and the Greater Saint Louis Flight Instructors Association. We loved him.
Thank you for sharing him with us Brinker Family.

Brian always had a smile for me, and good cheer! I am so sorry for his loss and to his family. He and I were friends through the MPA and as Flight Instructors. He will be missed very much.

Brian Brinker not only instructed flight, he instructed life. He never focused on what he couldn't do, only on what he could. It was an honor working with him. The aviation community is a better place because of all he did.

I was a casual acquaintance of Mr. Brinker thru the GSLFIA. He was always kind and friendly to me when we interacted, and I will always have fond memories of him. My prayers go out to his family for their loss.

My condolences to Brian's family and friends.
Brian and I were the two wild ones from Overland that went to SLUH and competed in sports and life. We took different paths, but enjoyed our youthly friendship.
God speed, Brian.

Our deepest sympathy to the your family. Our families have known Brian since early grade school, but moved to Florida in 1957. May your many memories console you during this period of grief.
