Tribute to Brian Lyons - In Memory

Hi all.

I found out late last night that a friend and personal mentor died in a motorcycle accident on Monday night. His name is Brian Lyons and more information about him can be found at the blog on their corporate site.� His family has setup a personal site for more information here.

While we have a lot of fun on this site, I also wanted to take a moment to let his family, friends, and co-workers know that we are thinking about them in this sad time.

One of the things Brian was known for saying (in his email signature and phone calls) was, “Hi Ho!”

This always brought a smile to my face.

He will be missed and hopefully this will bring a smile to your face when thinking of him.

Thank you Brian. I have learned much from you.
