Brian was my buddy. I met him when he transferred in to SLO. I dispatch on graves which is where Brian stayed almost the whole time he was here. We hit it off from the start with mutual harrassment, always kept me laughing and/or rolling my eyes. Always called me `Wilson' and there was never a dull moment no matter who his partner was. Can never forget veh vs cow on the dispatch center floor! I have had the pleasure of watching Courtney grow up since she and her mom Tami moved up to this area several years ago and boy when I met Brian it was obvious she is a spittin' image of her dad and also got his nutty sense of humor. I really missed Brian when he transferred out as I had just gotten to know Lori too. Those few months he was in SLO left me with a buddy for life, it breaks my heart it was cut so short, but I will always have the memories to make me laugh or smile. My heart, love and prayers go out to Courtney, his family and friends, as he touched a whole heck of a lot of us in his short time on this earth, he will be very much missed and never forgotten. We are blessed to have Courtney, his greatest gift, his daughter. `Brian, I miss ya buddy, and hey, I wonder if they'll issue you a motor, boots & those funky britches with ur wings, best let us know.
