In memory of Brian...

[souldog]

This time of year always makes me think of you buddy, and I've gotta say I sure could have used some of your wisdom over these last two years! At any rate, I know you're smoking something good, and being a coffee snob where you're at. Ill be smoking one of those cigars from you on Thanksgiving, remembering the good stuff.

In memory of one of the best BOTLs I knew.

Still hard to believe isn't it Jonathan.? Thanks for remembering.

I know John. Hopefully I didn't step on anyones toes with this. I was just feeling a little sentimental is all. Sure could use him around here... Guy always had a way with words, whether you agreed or not.

CP sure isn't the same without Brian. We all would have benefited some of his wisdom and experience over the last 2 years.

Brian was one of the most generous, kind BOTL's I've ever met. He gifted me a cutter that I use every day, and I think about him and his outlook on life every time I use it.

You are missed, my friend....not far from the thoughts of the folks here you touched with your personality and generosity.

Rest well, brother......B.B.S.

Absolutely not! Jane, Ryan, Adam, and Zane would all be touched that the brothers and sisters here still remember and miss Brian the way people like you do.

Brian was gone not long after I signed on to CP . . . but in my folkway, the fame of one's deeds is everything---the reputation you leave behind, how people remember you, well, that's your worth, that's who you are.

I can only hope that people remember me the way they remember him. Hail to a truly special BOTL!

Continue to rest in peace Brian, you are truly missed and definitely not forgotten. I'll smoke a primo stick in your honor on Thanksgiving...... :thumbs:

Yes he is missed, but those of us who knew him remember him fondly! Thanks for bringing him up at this time of year when we have much to be thankful for.

I've got one of his smokes picked out and ready to put fire to, in memory of one of the best. Thanks for posting Jonathan!

Brian was truly one of the good guys. He was as generous and as kind as any that have been associated with CP. He is still missed by all that knew him. RIP Brother.

 

[MadMonk]

I miss him too. Thanks Jon.

Jon,
Thanks for the memories. I totally forgot this was the time of the year of Brian's passing. However, I never forgot Brian, a man of his wisdom is impossible to forget. RIP Brother Brian.

RIP Brian. Hard to believe it has been 2 years. My thoughts and prayers are with his family over the holidays.

Brian was a great BOTL, we are always thinking about you brother.

Thanks for the reminder, Jon.

I, too, will be raiding the Coolidor for one of Brian's "gifts" this week. ....and will smoke it in the vein it was given to me! To Infinity - and beyond!!!!

No regrets. Brian didn't believe in leaving things unfinished. We could all stand to be more like him in that respect.

Brian is still here in spirit, watching over us, puffing on something good.
The ones here who knew him are forever affected for the better by his influence.
You newbs should search his posts and read.
This man left a legacy here and his impact is still felt everyday.

Continued rest Brother.....
We miss you
