Mrs. Dennis,
I am very sorry for Brian's passing. I only knew him for less than a week while bowling with him in the 2025 Greeley, Colorado Senior Open just a month ago. He is a great gentleman and friendly competitor with a gentle soul and class act demeanor. I was paired with him and Don Hogue during that competition which i am new to in high level bowling. Brian and Don helped me with friendship throughout the competition to relax and enjoy the competition as i struggled. At the end of that Tournament, I was last in the standings and he was First where he will always be the winner of that 2025 PBA50 Senior Tournament.
