Brian and I were buddies on Omerest Drive and played football together one year before we moved. Brian, Stuart Krause and I were inseparable, building model cars, camping and shooting Civil War era firearms. I loved Brian like a brother and have thought of him often over the years. He was fine person and I will pray for all the family in your bereavement. Rex Short (Knoxville, TN)
