I can speak for many of us UB PJ Bottoms regulars that Brian was a source of comfort and protection. He’d hold our barstools, have our backs, and observed the room in a fatherly way. His deep laugh, huge smile, and big hugs made all of us feel at home. When my parents visited me, my father insisted on stopping in to PJ Bottoms to say hello to Brian- I know he felt comforted that a fatherly figure was watching over all of us young and naive girls. I can’t express how much of an impact he had on my (and many others) college years, and the image of his giant smile will forever remain in my mind. May you find peace knowing that he touched the lives of so many.
