[James Tanner - Bryston]

Hi Folks,

Saturday I lost a terrific friend and business associate.

Brian Russell passed away in his sleep Saturday from a suspected heart attack. He was 68. I worked with Brian for over 45 years and he was the most kind and caring individual I have ever known. He came across as a rough gruff bear of a guy but deep down he had the emotions of a teddy bear.

I will miss him a lot and I am still in disbelief over this.
