I left Medtronic in June of last year and just found out about his passing. Although I valued my relationship with Brian at work, it was his courage and selflessness during his battle that will have the lasting effect on my life. His dedication to his family and his fight for every single precious day on Earth will always be a lesson for me. Prayers for his family.

It is indeed impossible to express the feeling of missing for all those whose lives have been touched by Brian.
It has been over 30 years since I was roommate with Brian at Middlebrook Hall at University of Minnesota, and the last I saw him and talked to him was indeed over 30 years ago in fact to be precise it was 33 years ago in Fall of 1983. And yet for me it is as though it was yesterday Time is meaningless when lives are touched through sincere friendship and respect that would be engraved in one's soul forever and no matter how fast time moves us forward for which we tend to not accept and sometimes even resist the notion of its existence, the engravement of precious moments in one's heart and soul is a constant reminder of how blessed we are for all that life (and time) have to offer through the people whose lives touch our lives.
For anyone whose life has been touched by Brian, the feeling of missing will be a pain that would never go away till reunited in due time In the meantime perhaps, the pain can be eased through the joy, laughter, strength, brilliance and warmth that Brian brought to anyone whose life crossed his.
My most sincere deepest condolences to Brian's family.
