I first saw Brian at my 1st Tournament and I was so impressed. Why not? He was cute. We were both about the same age. We both were obviously hooked on show skiing. And oh, He really knew how to handle that twin rig! Over the years we met only a few times. We knew who each other was, what we did in shows, said hi when ever we passed at a tournament, but somehow I felt a much.. stronger bond than just that. Every year we met at Think Tanks, and 2 or 3 tournaments since about 1979. I admired what he did as a driver, but also how he was with people in general. I'm just so sad that I will never see him again in this life in one of the usual places we both loved to be. He was kind to everyone. I'm praying Jesus that you cradle him gently till you are at the one of the many rooms in the mansion you and your father have prepared for him. I pray for family and friends that God carries each one of you till you have the strength to walk without Brian physically next to you. Next, when I go for a walk, Jesus, let me sing 'Pie Jesu' by Faure from the Mass for the dead. Help me sing it with voice you gifted me so I can reassure others that your promise is real. In some way I hope those who love Brian hear someone sing this aria and feel confident that for Brian you have already answered it. Amen

My thoughts and prayers to the family. Brian was a great guy, he was funny and a kidder. I was lucky enough to work with such a good hearted person at Body Craft for a few years. I am saddened by this news but I know he is in no more pain. God Bless my friend.

It is sad that the best of us always seem to be the first to leave us. Maybe it is bacause they are needed to perform a greater good in their new life. Thank you for the time we spent here Brian! You are already missed!
