I worked with Brian and in the little time I've known him... He was a great person to be around. He was funny as you could always count on him to make you laugh. I am glad that I did get to work with him as he worked hard even if he wasn't feeling the greatest that day, he still made a 100% effort to do his job and get things done. I'll miss you my friend. I'll be keeping your family and close friends in my thoughts and prayers.
