Farewell, Friend

It is with much sadness that I announce the loss of our dear friend, Brian, who is moving back home to Minnesota.  We have enjoyed many years of watching Packer games with him.  But now, things must go back the way they were intended to be: with Brian cheering on the Vikings.

Brian will be best remembered as a great friend, avid volleyball player, and author.  His greatest (and only known remaining) works can be viewed here: Brian's Blog.  He was commonly seen riding his bike around Milwaukee's suburbs, hanging out at Leff's, and helping paint everyone's houses (thank goodness we got that all done before he left! ;)).

Long drives to Cedarburg for the flavor-of-the-day ice cream will not be the same (especially since Brad won't let me listen to Wicked unless Brian requests it).  Ice skating at Red Arrow park will from here on out always be missing something (someone?).  Who will take group pictures using the "selfie" method and manage to capture at least a small portion of everyone's heads no matter how many people are in the picture? (See some of the examples below)

Brian is leaving behind many friends including (but not limited to) the members of the Golden Eagle volleyball team, who have since dropped down to C League.  He will be dearly missed by all who regularly hung out with him.

~ Love you, Brian!!!!  Good luck with your new ventures in Minnesota!  We're already planning a future trip to visit The Mall of America (oh, and you!).  Thanks for "willing us" your stuff-n-munch!
