    Oh shit! :(

    I met him at VIR a long time ago. I miss those old AMA races with his voice.

    Damn, RIP.
    I was just watching the Roadrace 2004 dvd while at barber last weekend and recall seeing his segment there, and how he has been a part of our sport for such a long time.

    Wow. What a drag. Was always fun to see him post here.. his avatar of the goldwing. And if I remember, he was a crazy cat man.

    Started watching races when he was announcing. Seemed like a real genuine personally.

    Sucky.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I always imagined his voice reading his posts here. Lol

    Sad to hear. Super nice guy, great TV announcer, fun to be around.

    I last saw him as a fellow member of the Cherokee Bee Club. He and a granddaughter were really good at beekeeping.

    very sad. I remember him camping out in his RV with the family at the Big Kahuna and joining us in the after hours hooliganism a time or two, great taste in classic motos and autos too. the races will never be the same without him.

    Godspeed

    I was lucky enough to shoot the shit with him at Rd ATL and VIR, this year. He always had the best stories and had a way of making you feel like you were an old friend (even if you had just met him). I won't lie; I was starstruck having a conversation with 'the voice of racing'.

    Ride on, Dreb!

  15. Best damn color guy out there, sure I have a lot of previous posts regarding how much respect I have for that cat.
    Thank you for all you given us Dreb, you were a truly unique guy, heart of gold and just all around nice guy. I’ll miss our chats about everything non 2 wheel related. You are one of a kind and will be missed.

    Godspeed big guy. I've got a vid clip of him announcing Toni Elias as the 2017 champ @ NJMP on my IG, that's how i'll remember him for sure.

    RIP Brian. He was very enjoyable to listen to and super enthusiastic about motorcycles and racing. I feel very lucky to have known him here at the track. We will all miss him! Deepest sympathies to his family.
