This is Josh Mills, Brian was a close friend to me. He was very funny, I was his #1 fan of his freestyling rymes towards other coworkers. We only hung out at work, but one thing I know is what he loved more than anything, and that was his wife and daughter. He would sacrifice anything for them, and that was the only thing he cared about. When he passed, he touched more people than he thought. Especially me...Everything Brian stood for is why I respected him the most.

Tom and Sharon,
I was deeply saddened to hear Brian had passed on. I looked forward to seeing Brian's smile and enthusiasm everytime I visited his restaurant and truely feel privalaged to have had the chance to know him better through the Chicago opening. He often spoke of his wonderful family and he made you realize just how important family was. Nothing I say, could possibly express how sad I feel for your family's loss. Rest in peace Neffer and know you are loved.
