Columbus, OH. Died October 30, 2020. Brian gave the gift of sight to two people through cornea donation.

Brian was someone who never met a stranger. He had a strong personality but had a sweet, tender and loving heart.

He and his wife, Karen rode their Ohio State golf cart every day through the 9.8 mile Chippewa and Island View neighborhoods. Brian was a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan! He and Karen had a large tailgate on Lane Avenue called PARKGATE. They had season football tickets and attended the 2003 National Championship game in Tempe, AZ, B1G Ten Championship games, etc.

His kind, helpful heart also was President of the Chippewa Neighborhood Watch Group where he directed activities to raise money to buy toys for children, money donations to the local fire department and neighborhood outreach center. He was always helping others. He always took care of Karen and anticipated her needs. They loved each other deeply and were one.
