When i met brian we were both working at the garbage company. He was a goofy character but so was i. I hope lyle paullin would testify that brian and i were two of his hardest workers. there were many but there were more with less work drive than the two of us. thats probably why we got along so good he would come help me and i would go help him whoever got done first on the routes. after the routes we usually hung out and sucked back a few cold ones sometimes too many. over the last couple years since my quiting the garbage dump i cant go much of anywhere with out passing through towns without having a thought of ole kirks. My boss has resurrected an old candy from the past called candy raisins so every thursday i was picked to deliver this delicious treats. Thats where brian comes to mind on a regular basis where i pass through towns and see an old route we both tackled, an old tavern we may have tore up, the summerfest grounds, or  even the a old rugby field where he would come watch me play. As i age many of these times are things i would say i would take back and there also things i wouldnt.  The Lord blessed me bye getting me out of that party lifestyle. I wonder what would of happened had brian  kept hanging around with me and not started running with his new crowd. That will probably always bother me the most. like i said every thursday i almost drive somewhere that brian doesnt cross my mind. theres two ways to look at those thoughts one is to think of the good the other is to think how angry i am brian is gone. honestly i do both. i will always miss brian thats a promise. its impossible not to he was my very good friend. God bless. John 14:6. With love keiko.
