We’ll miss you Brian McElhatton
Brian passed away after battling brain cancer (the same thing that killed my dad) for the past year and a half. He was reserved yet hilarious, often delivering one-liners with such a straight face that you didn’t know he was kidding around with you. Brian was the type of guy that didn’t take shit from anybody and he feared nothing.
I feel very fortunate to have known Brian. He invited me into his home on several occasions, where BBQ and beer would flow with a never-ending supply. My fondest memories though will be sitting with him in his poker room after the BBQs had winded down, with 5 or 6 of his other friends. We’d shoot the shit and have drinks and play poker for hours on end.
My thoughts go out to Meghan, Elvis, Julie, and everyone else affected by this lousy situation.

Like Bob Dylan said, Just remember that death is not the end.
