I hate that!, Brian was  one of the good guys, he knew more about the US than most Americans, I knew he had struggled with his health for many years, I hope he found peace. R.I.P. soldier

Very sorry to hear of his passing. I still have a magnetic calendar he made me some years ago with a photo of me on my 20-35 Allis Chalmers on it. R.I.P. Brian. |

There was a post about Christmas on here years ago. I made the comment it just isn’t Christmas until I can see Jimmy Stewart in the old movie, it’s a wonderful life. He jumped all over that post. He had some video of maybe the first 10 minutes of that movie and posted it there for me. I loved his humor. He will be missed and always remembered. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

I remember that post! One of the hardest parts of being in these groups is losing connections you've built over the years. Rest easy Brian!!! ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

Think Brian was a friend to many of us and between mail and posts on here we got to know him some ways better than our neighbors . His love of motorcycles as well as history , and his sharp wit was missed when he quit posting here . Over the years he shared several videos with me by postal mail as well as a few bootlegged discs . Remember telling him he was going around a round-about the wrong way in one video he shared of a bike trip and his answer , If I went the other way around I would be going home . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

I always enjoyed his posts so much. We had a post on here not that long ago asking about him and how we didn't hear from him anymore. He was a character for sure! I have to agree, one of the hardest parts of being in these groups is losing connections you've built over the years. My condolences to his family, our family and friends.
