Best of luck to you and think of me if you ever eat at Sweetie Pies, just love their food!

Brian, you will be missed! Best wishes in your new position in St. Louis.

What say it isn't so?! It's been great Brian--wishing you the best...guess I'll have to sign up for St. Louis Patch ("the" intentionally omitted!) so I can still follow you ;)

Sad to see you go, but glad to hear you are going home to your family. I wish you the best of luck, Brian. God bless.

Good luck, Brian! We will miss you so much. Bolingbrook has been very lucky to have such a committed reporter for the past 18 months. I'm sure you'll quickly develop the same loyal following at your new post.

Good luck Brian, you did a fantastic job here and you will be missed! Enjoy being home!

Congratulations Brian. It's always good to be able to go back home and be successful while doing it. Keep up the good work. Now send me my cartoon. LOL

Good luck, Brian! Thanks for your work here, and give my best to Tony LaRussa!

I've worked with numerous editors over the years and you are one of the best!!! Although a "transplant" your enthusiasm and willingness to seek and share our stories was refreshing! I would wish you luck in the future, but you don't need it.
You possess the temperament, tenacity and skills to succeed at whatever endeavor you choose!

Brian.... you'll be missed. Appreciate all that you've done for Patch, which has been a great service to Bolingbrook. God bless you as you go...

Congrats Brian! So glad the transfer was a possibility!

Brian, I can't tell you how much we are all going to miss having you around. You've done an amazing job in Bolingbrook--you should be very proud. Best of luck in Wentzville. I know you'll continue to do great things with Patch!

Farewell Brian. I'm glad you're able to relocate to be close to your family and friends. Those of us still in The Brook will miss you. Hey! you're only a computer comment away. Patch On Dude!

You did a great job Brian, good luck in St. Louis!

Best wishes, Brian! Sorry to see you go, but it's always great to be back *home* with family & friends. (John is from Carlyle, IL - 'bout 50 miles east of St. Louis. So we know...) Thank you for all of your encouragement, insights & hard work. Also, for inviting more of us to become involved in helping to build "The Patch" as readers & writing contributors. Stay strong & true! We'll miss you! Deb & John

Good luck Brian!!

I almost teared up reading your post, Brian! I still can't believe your time here is ending. We will sorely miss you and your talent as a journalist in the Chicago suburbs, but our loss is most certainly St. Louis' gain. We won't be talking every day anymore, but we're glad to be keeping you as a coworker in the Patch family. Knock 'em dead, and don't forget your friends back here in the Bolingbrook area!

Brian, I really enjoyed working on the sports/features beat for you. I feel that I have improved myself as a journalist under your guidance. I wish you the best of luck in St. Louis.

Bob

Good luck, Brian!

Brian, You have done a great job at Bolingbrook Patch - and I'm sure the community will miss you tremendously. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you over the past year. Best of luck in your new endeavor!

Thanks for the kind words everybody! I've been very lucky to report on such a great town with such great people! I'll miss all of the readers, coworkers and commenters! I'll check in from time to time and stay in touch!
