Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hello Bear, Just wanted to leave you a birthday and anniversary message. What a birthday this would have been for you. I know you would have had some gray hairs from me sending you crazy. I miss you as if it were yesterday. Thank you for the wonderful years we shared. Although we didnot have enough time to grow old together, we still grew in so many ways. I cannot put into words what to say about our anniversary. I Love You and I Cherish all the memories of you. ALL My Love, LULU

Hello Bear, Just wanted to tell you that you couldnot have had a better friend than Stanley. Although he lives out of town, he keeps in touch with your sons. This is a rough month. I'm at a lost for words at this moment. I miss you beyond words. Love, Lulu

Hey B, I just wanted to stop by for a minute and let you know that I was thinking of you. As Sgt said below, we will never forget. The numbing feeling of that night has never left my mind. I think of you often. Jen

I bought the book "Some Gave All". You would know that the first officer that i turn to was P/O Winder. As I sat there reading the account I found that I knew what was going to be said. I have as many relived that night as I saw his shift come in the station in shock. I watched as the pain poured out. Brain was and will always remain a good guy to those of us that were lucky enough to have known him. His dedication to this thankless job will always be remembered.
Lorrie may you and your children know that we too miss him and feel a loss. 826 car was his alone. He was a rare cop. The city could use more officers like him.

Hello Bear, Time is passing by so quickly. It seems like yesterday sometimes when I watched you walk through the hallway in your uniform leaving for work on 7-3-04. I wished I would have walked you to the door and watch you leave like I always did. I am thankful I called you and spoke with you around 7:30pm. I miss you dearly. Fall was my most favorite season at one time, but now Brian it brings pain with its beauty. Your birthday and our anniversary. You would have been 40th this year. I looked forward to giving you a wonderful party for your 40th birthday. Now what will I do on that date? I know you are with me everyday, but not to see you and hear that laughter is unbelieveable. Your son Brandon is outstanding in football this year. I see the maturity and improvement from last year. He now looks for that black butterfly to come flying by at some point at his games. You wouldnot believe your grandson Antoine is playing football also. He's very good for his 1st year. Brian thank you for being you in everyway. The good souls are always called 1st. Love and miss you dearly, Lulu

Hello Bear, Well your main man as you called him is having another birthday. I know you know this already. He has grown in so many ways it is amazing. I do see the change, but he is still a little guy and misses you deeply. He plays his 2nd football game tomorrow. I am going to do something special for him this weekend. I wish you would give him a sign to let him know you are still watching over him and are with him on his speacial day. Stay with Corey as he continues on with his military career. Guide and protect him from all harm. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters working the streets of Baltimore and throughout the United States for protection and peace. I also ask you to pray that they place the right person in the commissioners position for the BCPD.I Love You and miss you deeply. Thank you for giving me a piece of you in Brandon to hug and hold on to. I see so much of you in him it is amazing. I never thought for a minute that I would be raising Brandon without you. I know you are still with us and guiding us, but it isnot the same. All My Love, Your Lulu

Hey B, I have been thinking about you alot. It seems that we lost another SWD Ofc. John Johnson, and one of our favorite Sgts Al Orr is in the hospital. I had to take off for medical days due to stress from our messed up department that left me ill. I sure hope things up in heaven where you are, are 3000 times better than here on earth. I never thought things would come to this. I spoke to your older son, Corey yesterday, I'm glad that he is doing well, your wife Lorrie just had another birthday without you on 8/26 which was your car number, and your youngest son has a birthday coming up next week. I sent Lorrie and Brandon birthday cards, letting them know that I still care and remember. I miss you Big Brother!

Dear Dad, I am happy to tell you that the Ravens are winning in the preseason game. I miss you and I love you. I wish you were here right now to watch the Ravens game with me. Love, Brandon

Hello Bear, It's late and I am listening to your son Brandon hum a tune that you liked. I have to smile between the tears because he's growing up so fast and he misses you being here to share some of his moments. He looks at me and smiles at his football practice to see if I am watching and gives me a thumbs up when he does something well. I smile back and think of you when I see all the other fathers there and I say to myself I know you are here too watching with me and smiling that wonderful smile of yours and saying thats my boy. I know your looking out for Corey while he is away and protecting him. He's doing well so I know you are there with him. Summer is coming to a fast end and Brandon will be returning to school which is good. Continue to lookout for your brothers and sisters in blue. I Love You and miss you dearly, Lulu

Hi Brian, I miss u so much!! Everytime I think of u its always about the goodtimes we had and the times we had family gathers. I never thought I would see this day for u to go come so soon. It hurt me because I just saw u the day before and the a couple of hours before this tradegy happen. When I saw how all the different polices where flying up Edmondson Ave. I got scared because I had a feeling that something was wrong. I drove home so fast the lady up stairs told me what was going on, all I could do was scream and run in the house with Ayana crying saying no not my Uncle. I just couldnt believe it because I just saw u. Right now I'm crying because it seem like it happen yesterday. I cherish every moment I have with my family. I love my Aunt Lorrie, Brandon, Corey, and Kim with all my heart.I miss coming over ur house and staying with Kim. I'm so glad that u had meant Lorrie because she is a very beautiful person. I dont call her that often but I love her and appreciate everything that she does.You was blessed with a good Wife. Brian look over us and protect us all from this messed up world. I love u always!!!!!!!!!! Your Lovely Niece, Kisha

Hey Brian, I just wanted to say, I will be placing a picture of you, along with Byrd and Gavin at my wedding. I do miss you. Your death has taugh me to find the one thing that makes someone special and cheerish it. I never realized that your smile and laugh was so special until it was taken out of our lives. Now, I find that one special thing that makes people special. To Lorrie, I hope it is okay to place your husband's picture at the altar. He will be there with my Grandmother, who I loved dearly. I do keep you in my prayers. Brian was a great man, and a good friend. Keep strong, Love you Kimberly Starr

Three years have passed since your EOW and you have not been forgotten by those that love you. If they could save all the tears they have shed since they lost you, I know there would be enough to fill a small pond where they could sit beside and think of all the memories of you. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.
