I pray that Lori Ann can spare some of the estate to help me out. My husband Rick has caused our home to go into foreclosure because he wanted to sue people for calling him fat and a terrible writer.
Please help!

Brian was a dear friend and he will be sorely missed. He loved to read my books: The Ark, Children of the Divide, Gate Crashers, and of course, In the Black. It's very unfortunate that he had to die while my last novel ended on a cliffhanger. I'm sure he would've loved to read my next novel...

What a shock ... I was just thinking back to people that I knew and Brian came into my head .. I went out to see where he was now and saw that he had just passed away. Brian was a kind person, cared about his job and wanted to help people solve their technical challenges. Brian taught me many things about health and kindness. Please know you left a mark on many peoples lives.

My deepest sympathy to Lori and to Brian's family. Brian and I met in college and developed a great friendship and had a great time together; from the Spike and Kyle show on WSUP, to sharing bacon popcorn while watching videos, to game nights with friends that seemed to go on to the wee hours of the morning. We were there for each other's wedding and I was honored to stand up for him on his and Lori's special day. I enjoyed the occasional visits throughout the following years like GenCon, PlatteCon and the Renaissance Faire in Minnesota. I remember the good times together and will miss you my brother.

I only met Brian a couple of times at Gen Con, but I have interacted and read his stuff many times over the last 25 or so years. He was a good guy, often very funny and always showing his love for Lori and their fur children. He will be missed.
I'll turn loose an owlbear on my D&D players for you, Brian.

To all of Brian's family, I am so sorry that you all are going through this. I hope you all are hanging in there during this difficult time and have found many sources of comfort and relief. I worked with Brian for many, many years and always appreciated the way he "demystified" his part of our work puzzle. Sending you all many hugs and well wishes,

I loved your hugs. Hugging you was something I always looked forward to doing when I knew I would get to see you. Even if the best I could do was give you a hug from behind because you were sitting, I felt such warmth and joy. I cherish those hugs and think of them whenever I think of you.

Lori: Brian was a kind, smiling soul. A giggling GM at the game table especially when either it was a crit or a total failure. His live for pets was great. I will miss his smile and laughter. Love and hugs. Brian better be ready to play with Gary.

Aunt Mary, Uncle Ed, Cousin Rick & Lori, please know how sad I am to hear of Brian's passing. We spent more time together as kids than we did in our adult lives. Born the same year, graduated the same year. The one big difference was Brian being a Packers fan & me being a Bears fan. He loved to give me a hard time about that! He referred to me as "Cuz". Well "Cuz", you were taken way too young like your brother Mike. May you rest in peace & may all of the good memories your wife, family & friends have of you, provide them with comfort as they all miss you.

Brian was an amazing individual. He was among the first to make me feel welcome at OddCon. I considered him a friend and he is sorely missed. I wished our gaming schedules met up better, I would have loved to have either sat at his table or him at mine. The Madison area was better with him in it and there is definitely a hollow where he Brian stood.
