Wow what a shame...I've never spoken to him but I obviously know of him through discussion of the BT stiffening plate.

Such a tragedy...

eep -- I didn't run across this thread until just now. Wow.
That sucks. I distinctly remember a long and very informative
phone conversation with him, talking about plates and suspension
dynamics and all sorts of stuff.
.
Next time I'm under the car I'm going to stare long and hard
at my BT plate, which has far and away been one of the best
additions I ever made to the car, and think of its creator.
For something he asserted was a quick hack-job experiment, it
is a strong testament to the man's innate skills.

Man, I just saw this thread. What a sad sad event. I have the BT plate, and if I'm correct, the BT plate thread still holds the record for the longest thread on PC. If I recall, over 1000 posts. All of which Brian answered and discussed intelligently, patiently, and with dignity and respect for those who disagreed with him.

what a true loss to the community, his family, and many others I'm sure.

What a tragedy for the family, gone in the prime of life. I talked to Brian a couple of times and we emailed each other about his products. I almost felt I knew him, he was always willing to take the time to explain things. A true gentleman, he will be missed.

My heart goes out to Betsy, Armanda, and Brian's other family.
Gone too soon, but isn't that always the way with the good ones?
