I wanted to express my love and sadness of the loss of my mentor, my friend, and my brother. Brian's life has been difficult the past few years, but all of Brian's great qualities and gifts he gave us will not be forgotten. He meant a lot to many of us, he meant a lot to me, he taught me how to fish, hunt and love and respect nature and the aboriginal people. I no that when I am out on the lake or walking that he is there, he is in everything, the water, the air, the land. He is that Trophy buck, The 60 inch Muskie, the eagle, the bear, and the wolf. So, it is not goodbye, it is so long, I will see you again.
