My deepest sympathy to Brian's family. I just today heard of his passing and I am sorry that I was unable to attend the services. I have talked with Brian many times over the years as he sat on his front porch with "Doc". As a neighbor and friend I will miss my fellow White Sox fan. Brian, I know you are with Our Lord this day surrounded with love.
