Brian will be sadly missed. I have never had another friend that was as positive, as accepting and as much fun to be around as Brian was. I would be sadder if I had never met Brian because he brought joy into this world through his music and his friendship.

Over 20 years since we've had the pleasure of being neighbors and friends with Brian and he has always come up in conversations at our social gatherings at Lake Chaweva. He will not be forgotten...Peace Out Man

- Jay & Angi Tenney, Skidaway Island, GA

Ron, Suzie, Ronnie Paul and Family. There are no words to express how my heart is breaking for you all. We have all lost so much in this past year and this loss is more than I can even imagine. I havent seen Brian in years but I remember so many good times, running and laughing on the beach, a few items going home with us that didnt start out with us. But they were always great memories that I will treasure even more now. I love you all so much Marsha Kay

- Jim & Pam, Tybee Island, GA

Brian, Over the years you consistently and warmly extended an open invitation to make music together. Always too busy and thinking we had all the time in the world, I never followed up. Hearing of your departure, for a moment the world stood still. Where ever you are now Ragman, I'm sure you'll make it a brighter place. Rock on, brother.
