Pete, Glennis, and all the DiMaggio family: I've had Brian on my mind all day today, having just learned of his passing this morning. Peter and I logged a lot of hours tagging along behind Brian, Mitzi, Tony, John B., Faz, and various other members of Brian's posse when we were little guys. Those are memories that will never leave me. I'm feeling sadness today that we have lost Brian, but we share a lot of those memories Pete, so Brian will stay with us in that way. I knew Brian my entire life, and I am thankful that I knew him so well all those many years ago. Nobody can take that away. My best thoughts and wishes are with all of you, and whenever I think of my friend Brian, I will smile. Much Love, Dan

Hard to believe your gone now Brian. As kids and even once we grew up you were always larger than life. Handsome with a twinkle in your eye and that sideways grin that always made me smile. My cousin the football star, I love you.
