We miss you Brian, as our rock spins around this big, flaming ball. Thanks for being there when it was needed most, we missed you this Christmas, we're all still in a bit of shock over it. I can't express enough how much we miss you, thanks for everything, I wish I would have said it more, we have so many memories together, I'm still in a state of shock over it, you've definitely left a hole in our hearts that we're having a difficult time filling, It was a wonderful journey to reach a compelling destination, we're so used to having you around at all of the family gatherings and events, there's a void here that can't be replaced. I can't even begin to recall all of the poker games you played at Vegas & Laughlin, there's no telling how many hours you sat next to people who you'd later complain about. Don't worry, we'll take good care of Aya, thanks for being, Brian. The memories mean so much, and I wish more people had the opportunity to experience your kindness. - RIP - Posted by: Adam Bilowus (Nephew) on: Jan 28, 2023
