My good friend and partner, Brian Carr, the president of HRB, died Saturday night around 10 pm following complications from a stroke. We will miss him and his positive, uplifting attitude immensely. We pray for his wife, Linda, and all his family.

Update on Brian
Steve and I visited Brian and his family this morning at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Brian is still heavily sedated and was asleep when we were there, since the doctors want him to rest and heal.
We learned that the surgeons removed a blood clot from his brain. We won't know for at least another 24 hours how the surgery and stroke will affect him.
His family shared an optimistic outlook with us and knows there will probably be some rehabilitation involved.
Brian's wife Linda expressed gratitude for all the prayers and good wishes we have passed along from the HRB staff, friends and business colleagues.
If you would like to send the family a message, please click on the comments link below and enter your thoughts. We'll pass them along to the family.
We'll continue to provide updates as frequently as we receive them.
If you have messages for Steve or me, please use the comments link below or contact us by email or phone.

Brian update
After speaking with Brian's wife Linda this afternoon, it appears that his condition has not changed much since yesterday. He has been sleeping quite a bit, as you might expect after such major surgery. They are trying to stabilize his blood pressure, which apparently has been going up and down, with medication.
They really don't expect to know much more about the effects of the stroke for at least another 48 hours.
Steve and I are going down to visit Brian and his family Saturday morning at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. And, we'll report back after that visit.
Visiting hours in neurology ICU are from 9 am to 1 pm, 3 pm to 6:30 pm and 9 pm to 10:30 pm.
Please submit comments and thoughts that we can share with Brian's family.
Thanks for all of your prayers and best wishes for Brian. He and his family appreciate them very much.

We're missing our friend and partner Brian Carr
Brian Carr, the president of HRB, underwent brain surgery on Thursday, February 12, 2008, at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics following a stroke and bleeding on the brain. His wife, Linda, found him unconscious at home and he was rushed to the hospital.
His surgeons say it will be at least 72 hours following surgery before they will know the impact of the stroke on Brian's body. We are all praying for a quick and complete recovery.
This was devastating news for our HRB family, and especially so for my partner Steve Erickson and me. The three of us have weathered the bad times and the good times as a team. That includes the terrible flood in June that destroyed our offices and forced us to relocate to space kindly made available by our friends at Fastek International. We just started our rebuilding effort so we can move back into our own offices.
We believe that Brian's upbeat and enthusiastic attitude will carry him through this.
He is surrounded by his loving family.
We will update this blog each time we have news on Brian's condition. You can sign up for the RSS feed to have the updates sent to your email account, or check in here on a regular basis.
