I’m saddened to hear about Brian’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Brian was my boss for 16yrs. He was more than my boss, he was a friend and therapist when I needed one. One of his favorite thing to say was “And your point is?” I am still speechless and cannot believe he has left us too soon. I will never forget him nor how much he meant to us. The only comfort is that he is now with his mom whom he terribly missed. You will forever be in my heart, until we meet again may you rest in peace…Rhonda, we are hear for you if you every need anything.

My dear friend is gone too soon but is now resting in eternal peace. I will forever remember the wonderful friendship he shared with me and many others. I think everyone would agree that he knew how to dress and drive in “style”. And boy could he play spades!
“Thank you for being my friend”. I will miss you greatly. Godspeed and I offer my condolences to the family. Rest now.
