I met Brian when I first started coming to Dolores in the mid 1990's. The actual meeting was related to our common interest in E Clampus Vitus. After we bought our place in Dolores, Brian and his family became more that aquaintances, they became friends. He was one of the best open pit cooks I have ever known and enjoyed numerous meals he prepared in that arena. I did wood work when I was in Colorado and Brian was always willing to let me find wood around the sawmill area. My sincere condolences to Cheryl and Brian's family. May he enjoy traveling the golden Clamper trails of Colorado.
