    Yes indeed, a larger than life guy. Miss him immensely, we were together during our 20’s a magical time to be together and in San Francisco.
    Thank you for this insightful remembrance.

    Kevin:
    Today would have been Brian’s 70th birthday and he would have hated it! I remember having to call you with the news when he passed. We were together for 10 years until life became too hard to handle. We all move on, but some dates just stick in your head.

    I always think of the lovely story you wrote about a man you were just getting to know and his gorgeous photos that hang in my cottage of the Ricoletta cemetary, are a reminder of how amazingly talented he was. Like other gifted souls, he was gone way too soon…but never forgotten.
    Love to you and Maria
