I want to say how very sorry I am to learn of Brian’s passing. Bonnie and Brian was our class perfect couple from 7 th grade on. We all of class 1974 admired both Brian and Bonnie. They were the perfect couple,parents, and grandparents ect. eat. I don’t seem to learn about these losses till afterwards. My heart goes out to Bonnie and her family.

I am greatly saddened to learn of Brian’s passing. The memories of working with Brian at Platte City Middle School make me smile. His love of serving others, in any way, was always evident. Also, very evident was his immense love for his family. My heartfelt condolences to them in these difficult times.

We are going to miss Brian so very much! Its hard to even imagine him not being with us here on earth any longer. We are resting in the assurance that he is now in heaven and so very happy with our Lord and his loved ones who passed before him. I imagine he and Carolyn are together right now. Our prayers are for you Bonnie and your children and grand daughters. We pray for peace and comfort for you that only comes from Our Heavenly Father . Brian knew Beulah land was my favorite of the songs the quartet sang. I can smile thru tears knowing he’s there. Our love and prayers for all of you, his beloved family.
