Hillary and all of Brian's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember years ago when you so seemlessly stepped into this crazy man's life and overnight made him a better man without changing him. Not an easy trick.
I've missed you both over the years and hold tight to memories of Kasey's Kove, The Time Tunnel Pub, fantasy football, and cheering on the intramurals. My thoughts are with you...Eddie

I met Brian when we were going to USF. I spent many a day on the volleyball court with him. Brian was one of those people who, if you knew him, was a guy that lived life with passion and gusto. He was someone who truly was fun to be around; even in a really crappy situation, he would look for a way to have a good time going through it! You will surely be missed. My thought and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Brian touch so many lives, including mine. He was my first "primary" when I resided at CHI. When I was upset with him, I used to tell him "go get married, and leave me alone." I will always cherish the memory of Brian and remember him with fondness. My sincere condolences go out to Hillary and his entire family. He will be greatly missed!
