Today Brian Arthur Knofsky, son, brother, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, fraternity brother, trusted business associate and loyal friend was laid to rest in Youngstown, Ohio.
Not far from where he was born and not far from where we grew up together.
He would probably find humor in the fact that some of us tried to listen to his service on our cell phones.
Brian was an early tech geek. He plunged into technologies that none of us understood. He built me my first Windows machine. Remember floppy disks?
If he could have heard us he would have stopped the service, annoyed that the signal was breaking up and that we couldn't make out all of the words. In fact he would probably have stopped the proceedings to adjust the phones, retest the sound and make sure to provide technical support. Then he would have insisted he was a software not a hardware guy. And he would have not been happy that I missed hearing pretty much all of it and would have told me to switch to Verizon.
Unfortunately he didn't and couldn't and I suppose that's what this is all about.
Mom you still have five kids. I still have two brothers. The head count is just a little different. Elliott and Vicki and I are heading to Sharpsville on Friday. We're still a family and we still care about each other.
Sleep in peace, Brian Arthur Knofsky. I miss you already.
