I am not sure as to how to communicate this or evenframe this news.  Brian passed away at 1143 this evening hopefully peacefully and somewhat quickly.  Bev and I had the opportunity to say goodbye to him and tell him we loved him.  Thank you for all of your support and wishes.  Brian had a very difficult year and he is in a much better place.  If you wish to call, my number is 925.699.1638 and Bev's is 926.785.9662.
