Hello O'Connor Family
My deepest condolences on Brian's passing. We worked together at QC/Midwest Services for 20+ years. I'll remember him as being a stand up guy with what could be considered a dry sense of humor that would hit just right to break up a hectic day. I do know and respect that family meant everything to him. Again, my condolences.
