Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by ClusterChuck on Oct 26th, 2005, 12:47am Oh, NO!! That is terrible!! WOW! He was so young! Do you have any idea what happened? Ah, the ultimate southern gentleman in his seer sucker suit! And he sure was surprised when I threw that lip lock on him, at our first Carolina get together! He was a unique individual, and will be missed. Terrible news. Chuck |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by nancyc on Oct 26th, 2005, 12:56am Chuck, I am not sure what happened as this is all she wrote....Brian had emailed me several months ago and apologized for acting the way he did on ch.com....I did not understand what he meant by that as I had never been offended by his post...he always made me laugh with his southern humor....He was going thru a really rough time ...I tried to get him to contact me so we could talk, but he didnt.....I am in shock too! I know he had a daughter and think she was his only child but not sure....I met him and his wife at a gas station one day...and another time we met at walmart....He will truly be missed! smiles,nancyc |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by Cathi04 on Oct 26th, 2005, 10:47am Nancy, Yes, B and I had a lot of fun together, even though we never actually met. He was a brilliant man, with a lot to offer, very successful in his career, and the quintessential "suhthun gen'lman"..something we sparred about regularly! People always knew where they stood with B.......he was very direct....and VERY loyal as well. His words could cut like a knife, or soothe when need be. He was always pretty quiet-some said painfully shy......and when I put Chuck up to the challenge of giving him a big wet kiss from me, it strained our friendship severely-but he forgave me........always blamed Chuck. At some point last year, I lost contact with him. His spirits were low. He told me not to worry. Dianna, he adored you. I hope you know that, and he adored the little girl you both created....Sydney, I believe? Now I must go thru the archives, and all thru my e-mails, and find some of B.......( ok, LBB......) Oh, I will miss you, my friend. Godspeed....... Lifting a mint julep in your memory Brian. Cathi :-/ edited to add...........several of us got to calling B......LBB......stood for Lazy B*stard Brian.......as I go back thru the archives to find some of these wonderful threads, I realize, he got that name because he refused to spend the time searching archives............B.......... LBB........the joke's on me today, as I sadly peruse archives, gathering pieces of you. |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by BlueMeanie on Oct 26th, 2005, 12:23pm :( Sorry to hear the news. I remember Brian's daily journals. Sometimes he would make us wait in anticipation for the next days news. Great writer. He will be missed. :( |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by nancyc on Oct 26th, 2005, 11:55pm Thomas , I heard from Brian's wife again today....she again did not say what happened and I felt it inappropriate to ask....She said her and the little daughter miss him terribly though and were always ther for him....I am so sad over this news. I know Brian was a shy type guy but I felt so glad to meet him at the cluster gathering in SC....one day we met at Walmart and just walked around and talked...He talked about his friendship with you, Cathi....I know it meant alot to him. He never got over that kiss from Chuckie LOL....He will truly be missed ....His talent in writing was unbelievable...May God bless his family. I will let Dianna know the cluster family sends their regards...If anyone wants her email address, please let me know. smiles,nancyc |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by ClusterChuck on Oct 28th, 2005, 1:17am Note: Link removed per request. Unfortunately, that is exactly what I suspected. Did not want to post it here, though without some sort of backup. Looks like my suspicions were true, DAMNIT !! How I wish I was wrong. I don't think that clusters were the main problem, though. He had several other devastating personal problems that came to be. I wish he had felt more comfortable in talking to one or all of us here in his time of need. Such a shame. This whole thing has really brought me down. I keep thinking of him, all day long. I keep asking why I didn't keep on him more, keep closer ties, to get him to open up. Damn I feel worthless .. (No, don't get your dander up. I am not to THAT level of depression.) Chuck |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by nancyc on Oct 28th, 2005, 12:50pm Heather, the post you put up was very inappropriate...I have emailed with Dianna several times and have not nor would I ever ask what happened...I still dont know at this time what happened...but it is NONE of my business.....putting that link up hurt Dianna very much....I received an email from her today saying this is one reason she had not contacted us regarding his death...There is a daughter also to consider.....My intentions, and I know Dianna knows this, was to notify the cluster family of his death...Not to stir up a bunch of questions.....Dianna was touched by most of the posts here but that link really hurt her.....Never again will I be the bearer of news that could cause controversy on this mb.....My heart and prayers go out to Dianna and her daughter....Brian, I will miss you! You were one of a kind and I loved you brother, for that! nancyc PS maybe it would be the best thing if DJ took this whole thread off. Brian's daughter is very intelligent and I would never want her to go online and find this. |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by Cathi04 on Oct 28th, 2005, 1:12pm Dear Dianna and Sidney, I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was a brilliant man, who loved you both so dearly. I will always remember how he so patiently explained to me some of his very Southern idiosycracies....and his fondness for his seersucker suit in summertime, and his penchant for golf and how kind he was to me, always, even though, in many respects, I was a total stranger to him. We tried very hard to meet for coffee when he was in Portland, but it simply never worked out. My memories of Brian will be fond ones. I thought I was helping someone in neeed, and yet I cannot tell you how many times he helped me. He will be missed. If you need anything, Dianna, please let me know. My condolences, Cathi |

It is important to remember that when you post something on a message board on the internet there is no way to control how it will be taken or what will be done with the information. As much as we're all a "family" and this seems like a big nice conversation, you can't control where it's gonna go once you hit "post". You can't blame people for wanting to know more when they hear news of a death, but this type of speculation should go to the I.M. side of things. Everyone should always, stop, breath, and think before you hit post. (Unless it's the "Friday Ladies Pic", then post freely and recklessly) scott |

Title: Re: Loss of one of our brothers Post by pollyanna on Oct 28th, 2005, 1:45pm Hello all. I am Dianna, Brian's wife. I wanted to thank everyone for all of the kind words and prayers that you have sent. Brian had some good friends in you all! -- Heather, I am sorry that I got freaked out like that -- I have no idea who would have posted his name on that site and it really startled me. I have contacted those folks and asked them to take it off. I just don't want Sidney to find it there some day. I want to let all of you know that Brian was a good man and an excellent father and we will miss him terribly. Thank you all for remembering him and God bless you. dianna |
