Brian is a special person. He left a BIG positive mark on our world, on our young people and on me. His focus, courage, character, and generosity with time and expertise to others will not be forgotten. He is missed.
I had the privilege of being Brian’s pediatrician and remember him fondly as a great kid. I looked forward to his visits and admired his spirit and enthusiasm. Clearly he grew up to become an exemplary husband and father, in addition to being a wonderful son. I know he is in a better place, and the entire family is in my prayers.
