Rest well Brian, you will be missed.

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.

RIP mate.

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!!!

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. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

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. Rest in peace Brian.
