Jan and Roy, Very sorry for your loss.
– Rod Heim
Jan and Roy–our deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of Brian. We pray the memories you have of him will help sustain you during this time of grief.
– Bruce and Lynn McKeag
Brian was one of the most wonderful people that I’ve had the privilege of knowing. He was polite, quiet, intelligent and never raised his voice. He was one of the hardest working people that I knew. I considered him a brother from another mother. I will miss him terribly.
– Andrew “Sarge” Grieb
