Very few people come in to our lives that leave a lasting footprint on our hearts and minds. These people not only have a positive influence over us, but they help shape the very fabric of who we are.
This individual was Brian Schwartz.
No matter how you describe him, his love for others will have a lasting impression on me and everyone that was blessed to have known him. His "other"-serving attitude is a reminder to us of how we should treat one another. His selflessness and willingness to see the positive in all things and in all people was truly a gift from above that has been passed on to all those that knew Brian.
As the captain of the golf team in 2006, Brian was a quiet, yet effective leader who immediately gained the respect and admiration from his teammates. His endearing personality and warm heart were qualities that I hope future "captians" will persevere to achieve. The Masco Coach's Award will be named in Brian's honor as his name alone embodies the qualities of integrity, sportsmanship and respect for others that reflects this award.
Brian's life was a gift to all that knew him, and his footprint that heleft for all of us will never wash away. In our hearts and minds Brian's memory will remain with us forever.
