Brian, I did not have the honor of meeting you in person, but I just want you to know that you and your family will always have a special place in my heart. My son made a comment to me, He said "Don't cry dad, they're not gone, they still live in your heart and as long as you keep them there they will live forever" I took his advise! Rest in peace my brother. I'll hold them back till my tour ends!
