ON BOFA, KNOWN FOR:
His supreme loyalty and caring. His solace, his tough love. Every team from '95 - '00 loves Brian for coming home each year for a few days to help coach, and to inspire the team with his love, his work ethic and his outspoken criticism of just about everything unfair in the world…or at least that which he deems unfair.

On BOFA '95, Brian was known for his quick wit, encyclopaedic mind, his acerbic tongue, his principles, his fluency, his ability to rhyme, his fierce loyalty, his artistic ability, his inability to back down, and his perfect performances in the challenging Modern Musical game. For his bleeding hands every day in practice for Stomp in Steve's studio 18, and for leading the timing of Stomp. For his music, his politics, his religious pronouncements. For Neil Young in Youth Issues. For the team t-shirts he designed, had made and delivered, year after year. For being gallant, for always standing up for his beliefs. And for "the Snatch." For his wonderful parents. For his integrity and devotion.
