I loved looking at the pictures you shared of Brian and all the family. I remember seeing those pictures on Blossom St. I especially loved the one of him golfing . He was the first "Real"Golfer I ever knew. My dad was so impressed by Brian's skill and as a child I looked up to him as a cool bachelor on Blossom St. Through the years I saw him and he always made me feel great. When I called him at home or to speak to Peg he was always kind and gentle as we shared good happy times and sad. I will miss you Brian ...love and prayers to all the family

I was lucky to work with Brian at Christian Chair. He was the nicest man--so funny and sweet with always a story to tell us girls in the office. He always made it a point to come in and chat. I'm sure he will sadly missed.
