Mary Day (Bell)
I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Brian's passing. My sincere sympathy to all of his family. Brian was a good friend from first grade at Southview school, in the years at South school, and all through junior high and highschool. We were companions at Calvary Bapatist church over the years, and our parents were also good friends at church.
You will be missed Brian. Peace, Mary Bell

How sad that we've lost another great classmate and friend. Brian had such a good sense of humor and he, with Jon Emerson, made reunions the best.
Our sincere sympathy to Carroll and the family.
Rest in peace, Brian.

Just heard about Brian's passing. Learned a while ago Brian had health problems, very sorry to hear. Brian presents affected many in many positive ways. Not too long ago, I have fond memories of him and Jon Emerson being hosts of our reunions and it was a fun time.
Brian was a large strong vertebra in the backbone of the class that affected many and will not be forgotten as many others aren't. In aviation terms, I salute his trip west with fond thoughts.
