To Brian's family,

I was saddened to hear of Brian's passing. I had not seen him for many years, but have fond memories of him. We grew up on the same street,and my sister and Crissy were best friends. Brian was always held up to us by our parents as someone to emulate for his scholarship and decency. Again my condolences to you all.

To Brian's Family,

For many years I worked with Brian in Accounting at the City of Tucson. After he retired I often wondered how he was doing. He was always upbeat and concerned about his family. Rest in Peace Brian.
