Brian Bob

Light and love. If you knew Brian Bob, you were on the receiving end of those forces every time you saw him. And man, it was great. Sometimes you were more in need of one over the other, and without you saying anything, Brian knew exactly what to deliver. It could be a hug that buried you into his chest, an uplifting rush from hearing his bellowing or other times sneaky laugh hit your ear from down the hall, or getting the pursed side lips and "mm" reaction he'd send your way after you said something ridiculous. Right now, as we're all searching for the right words and our feelings are spinning, many have remarked that Brian would know the right words to say to make it better. He'd know the right move to make to steady the space. And he'd have the right sassy remark to bring a smile to our faces. So in his memory, we'll do our best to bring each other the love and light that we all collected from our time with Brian. Having devoted 30 years to Covenant House, his handprints are deeply impressed in the culture of our organization, message of our mission, and in the purpose of all of us he inspirited.
