Betty and family;
I have known Brig, well, since I can remember. I will always remember how he could tell a joke at the drop of a hat..I'd be laughing so hard at the first one, I'd miss the next one or two. A great guy.
Putty now has another friend to talk to.

Briggy was always one of those "go to" people if you wanted to get something done. He spent more than a few hours keeping us new engineers in line at the power plant. So sorry that he has passed on.
