Brian was a great brother. We had alot of fun time together, like the time he and his friend , Richard, came to the San Francisco area, for a visit. My friend Lee,was there on a visit also and the four of us really had a blast.
Brian, like my Uncle Bill, had a whole pocketful of jokes he could tell one right after the other. Keep ya laughing.
The family was very important to him and he loved all of his offspring and their offspring very much.
He liked the idea of helping kids,to learn the fun and challenge of playing basketball, with his time at the Starvation Army.

Although I can never love her like you did because you were her father. I can promise you that I will love her with a devout passion for the rest of my life. It's the same thing I told you the day you gave her away to me at our wedding. The happiest day of my life. I will miss talking business with you and I'm sorry for the times we didn't see eye to eye. I was so proud to produce your first grandson and even more proud to call you Dad. May you rest in peace and we all love and miss you very much. In this life and the next. ??
