  1. Brian was a great friend and such a wonderful, generous caring person. We will miss you and the fun times we all had together. Rest easy now our dear friend. Love and prayers to Jackie and the family.

  2. It was sad to hear Big O had passed. What a guy! He was one of a kind. Funny, smart, talented and unbelievably generous. We had so many great times together. Times I will always cherish. RIP big guy.

  3. I haven\’t seen Brian in many years. He, along with Felix Pages, were bigger than life people in my life from Sunnyside pool. Felix and Brian were the last of a truly unique breed of lifeguards that none of us that followed were able to match. It was a privilege for me to be a part of a great staff that Dick Horn put together at Sunnyside and Brian was a definite center piece. I loved it. I will echo his obituary by saying that Brian was an awesome person. Thanks, Brian, for the memories.

  4. Throughout grade school and high school my brother and I witnessed his infectious personality, caring disposition, and overall love of life. His friendship was special to both of us. He was a great teammate. A true Admiral doing his part to make the team better on both the football field and basketball court. On occasion we even witnessed his life saving skills during the fun time while working together at Sunnyside. One can only imagine what Brian and Kenny are up to now. Thank you Jackie and Darrell for all you did for our friend. Steve Lovell

  13. Hi Ben, I really appreciate the formulas you have provided. I am interested in generating data about #hashtags beyond Instagram. I tried changing the formula for other socials (facebook, twitter, linkedIn) but it provided the ‘NA’ response. Any tips?Thanks.
