We enjoyed many good times with Brian and Anita especially when we lived in Wisconsin. We remember many bbq picnics with Brian as chef pouring beer over the brats. We did a lot of things together. After moving south in 1976, we would make trips up to Wisconsin and have family gatherings. We are happy that we were able to talk to Brian over the phone quite a bit over the past year. We will miss our brother-in-law, Brian.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I told him he had a very strong resemblance to my dad the last I saw the 2 of you at Shirley's funeral. I remember him coming into John's gas station back in the day and always teasing me and giving me a rough time.
With deepest sympathies,
Phil & Kathy Weisensel
