Friends: 37 |  PriusChat has lost a dear friend, Brian @ BT Tech I received some horrible news this afternoon and wanted to share it with the community. PriusChat lost a dear friend Saturday, Brian Feldman from BT Technologies. Brian was involved in an motorcycle accident on Saturday. Brian was an enthusiast of just about anything with a motor, and we were lucky to have him lend his expertise in designing and creating the BT Tech products that I have proudly offered through this website since 2005. Brian was not only a business associate of mine - he was a friend. I will greatly going to miss our lengthy conversations about everything from Prius to politics. Brian is survived by his wife (and co-worker at BT Tech), Betsy, and his young daughter Amanda. I just found out this news, so I haven't had a chance to process it and think about what we can possibly do as a community to memorialize him. In the meantime, please feel free to post comments on his profile or in this post and I will share them with Betsy. PriusChat Forums - View Profile: BT Tech Please keep Brian's family in your thoughts and prayers.

Friends: 1 | Re: PriusChat has lost a dear friend, Brian @ BT Tech I am deeply sorry to hear this terrible news. My deepest condolences to his wife and daughter. I enjoyed talking to him on the phone in the early Prius years as i bought a set of Integrity tires from him that he just replaced on his new Prius back then. We shared a good laugh when i told him I was just an old fart and the Integrity's were just fine to me and that the Prius handled fine to me without any add on things. He really had a great personality. |

Friends: 37 | Re: PriusChat has lost a dear friend, Brian @ BT Tech Had several phone calls with Brian WRT his products as I tested prototypes and photographed installs. Always very generous and helpful and what a contributor to the community. I'm very sad to hear of his death. Too many too damn young. |
