I work at Fed Ex and Brian and I always talked Kansas City Chiefs football and our Missouri vs Nebraska rivalry whenever he and I were in the breakroom. He always shared his knowledge of his passion of antique cars and always had jokes.

I only talked to Brian a very few times in working with his wife,Gay. He was what I always wanted to be. Flying was my first goal. He went much farther than I did.

I knew Brian when he was a member of the 317th S&S Bn. He was a good Soldier and good all around guy. He was very well read and interesting to know. My sympathy to his family and friends.
