Robert "Doc" Brien lit a candle

“Brian was an exceptional advisor, jokester, timely supporter, "everywhere man," having the essential qualities of both strength of character and a true friend. Staying power comes to mind, along with deep knowledge of many things, put into practice and willingly passed along to others. You will be sadly missed my brother, but only for a short while as I look fwd to your hearty laugh when I (hopefully, LOL) arrive where I know you already are.”
