Although we went our separate ways after college, some 40 years ago, I still have fond memories of all our escapades in Winona, especially our time together in our off campus housing, trips to La Crosse for Octoberfest and even a road trip to the Twin Cites to see the "Who". Brian always had a smile and genuinely told you what he thought and how he felt. Nothing was sugar coated, but that is what I Ioved most about Brian, you always new where you stood with him. So thankful we were able to catch up with Brian and Karen and some of the gang from Winona in Florida a few years back, what wonderful memories they are. I will miss him dearly, but will never forget him and hope Karen and the kids find some sort of comfort in this trying time. Just remember, Brian is looking down on you and watching over you every day with his huge "Erdahl" smile. Lots of hugs and kisses. Joel Kappes.
