I am saddened to hear of Brian's passing. I knew him from the tennis world, especially our many matches over the years at the Lynmar tennis club. He was a good competitor and a better person. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Brian and I dated in college in 1975-76. We saw each other in the 80s in CO Springs where he showed me the houses he was building. I met DeAnn, saw his own home, and truly felt he was shining his own talents and personality. I was so happy for him, and somehow or another I saw this obit today. To his daughter and grandaughter, how incredibly blessed you are to be his family.
