Grace, our condolences to you and your family. Brian was the best story teller and makeup artist. Our weekly golf games and gentlemen antics in the 19th hole are legendary. But only Brian could recant and live out our antics and remind us all of what fun we always had together. Brian will be missed forever. - Posted by: James Beaman (Golf Buddy) on: Oct 31, 2016
