  4. Dear Tillie & Family our sincere condolences. Brian was a good friend and neighbor and was always willing to lend a hand and share his knowledge. He is the only guy we have ever met who could get a 12 pack of Coors in his cargo pants pockets. We sure are going to miss him sneaking up on us through the path between our places.
    Hugs to you all.
