Brian would always joke with me at our tournaments when he did not cash, "Baker, this is the last 40 Boards event I am bowling!"
Hard to believe Saturday was the last time I'd see my man Poole. We'll miss him making us laugh with his one of a kind sense of humor.

It's never easy, nor is it fair for something like this to happen, it just seems to hit home a little harder when its a person you know and have seen as often as some of the regular tournament bowlers and directors on this site have seen Brian.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Reflect on this moment and remember, you never know when it will be your turn or someone close to you's turn to be called upstairs.
God Bless Everyone

I found the following link of a "Mini Bio" on Brian back in 2000. It is a pretty good read. I can here Brain's voice actually saying what I was reading.
RIP Poole!

Brian was my teammate and although he could wine better than anyone, he was a good natured person and would shut that crap up if you told him to. I will miss him at the Triple Threat Tournaments ( A Former Champion) and in league play. Also the emails he would send me right before bowling that he may not come and I would not answer so he was forced to.
Rest In Peace Brian!
I hope everyone thinks hard at the way we treat people everyday and look past ourselves to see that sometimes their actions go deeper than the surface. Brian was a very melancholy person at times and I truly wish I could have understood and listened a little harder and let him know he had a friend in me as well as a teammate. I hope he knew that but can't be sure.
