Many evenings you could see him making jokes and making others smile. And quite occasionally singing karaoke at local&nbsp;establishments, and&nbsp;even received a&nbsp;Second-Place&nbsp;ribbon and Trophy. He also enjoyed flying, especially in small airplanes whether that they be conventional or powered hang gliders.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brian would always stand up for the underdog always trying to be a good person.
