His childhood was filled with Little League baseball, PeeWee football and Boy Scouts. His love of sports continued and he enjoyed following all local sports. Music played an important role in Brian’s life; he had an appreciation for all genres.

His sense of humor was one of his greatest attributes; he was funny, quick-witted and was the first laugh at himself.
