Fred, thank you for letting us know. We lost a great friend.

I will always treasure my memories of my friend, but there is one I'll never forget. It was just a simple act of caring. It was my first convention after my divorce. I hadn't told many people, but word had gotten around. When I got to the show, Brian was one of the first people I saw. He got up, told me he was damn glad to see me and gave me hug. He almost lifted me up off the floor. I'm not a small guy. Brian was larger than life.

I will miss my friend. I loved Brian.

Bryan
