I am shocked and saddened by the quick unexpected death of Brian. I worked with him for many years in the machine shop at the Brass as we older workers like the call the place. Brian was a thinker and never let the machines get the better of him. A patient man who always found the answer to the problems. Wishing him a good life in heaven.
