Sorry to hear of your passing. Your love of the Hawkeyes was contagious. I used to love going to the Hawkeye games together many moons ago as well as watching the sprint cars. Something about "Dirt in the beer" being a good thing. LoL. Rest in Peace Brian. I am saying prayers for all of your loved ones. Go Hawkeyes! Get em'!! :)

So sorry to see this. We were neighbors, classmates, road the bus together and made a lot of memories. Hadn't seen you or talked in years, but can't think of high school or J-Town without you being on the top of that list. I hope you had a good life and can finally rest. You will be missed.
