Brian was an old friend from Burden Lake during our "early years" between 1970-1985ish. He was always the life of the party, and although our circles changed, I'll always remember his smile. RIP Brian!

So sorry to hear such sad news. I remember when Brian lived on the corner next to Critter on Spring Ave. Actually, it was at a party that Brian's had in his garage at that house, where I first met Critter. Thank you Brian. May you rest in peace.
