Brian was my friend, who always never said NO, whenever I wanted to boot his sport's car, I would occasionally wash my car in his complex, whenever the line was never ending. May your soul rest in peace BRIAN.. - Posted by: Douglas Fonseca (Friend and worker from the Calgary Food Bank) on: Jan 16, 2012
