Before becoming disabled at the age of 38.  Brian never said why me, he faced the future, fought through it and never let his challenge keep him from doing what he enjoyed.  Brian loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and baseball.   He was once a Boy Scout with troop 63. He always had a smile, a quick wit and was always ready for a great and new adventure.    He enjoyed snowmobiling in New Hampshire at “Put’s Hut” where his parents call home.  Summers were spent camping in Rhode Island at Whispering Pines with Robin Putnam and their children, on the Beach in Misquamicut, or watching Car Racing in New Hampshire.
