We (The Band of Two Rivers) were in shock with the melancholy news of Brian's passing on 02/04/26. The entire room let out a sigh of grief. All of us had been praying for Brian to make it out of the hospital. Sincere condolences to Bechi Currier our friend. As for me, personally, I had the pleasure of spending a day at the shooting range with Brian several years ago. What a marvelous guy he was. With his background in railroading, and my background in railroad signalling, we hit it off in camaraderie. To Bechi, I wish you had more time with Brian, but be gracious for the memories that you do have. We always meet the souls we love again in the spiritual realm -- even our cats -- for this existence is only to learn, grow, and report back to our Creator.
