We only knew Brian for a short time but the incredible changes he made in our company, SPF America will be everlasting .
Words cannot describe how much we admired and respected him; Not only did he make such great changes for SPF but he was also a mentor for our sons .
His selfless time and dedication was beyond what any employer could ever ask for . He was part of our SPF family and will never be forgotten We were blessed he chose to work for us and are eternally grateful for his time.
We pray the Lord will provide comfort and peace to his family during this difficult time ❤️❤️🙏
