My son, Brent Ostrander stopped by today and told me of Brian's passing. It is with great sorrow that I express my sincere condolences to Fred, Georgia and family.
I began treating Brian for M.D. in my office at about the age of 8 years old. He responded fairly well and his gait improved over time. He frequently would visit my office for treatment and he always had a smile on his face and a cheerful personality. As he became older, probably in his early twenties, he would come in with his FSU hat. I would always tell him to leave his hat in the car as I was a Gator fan. One day he came in wearing his hat and i told him that next time he returned with that FSU hat that i would throw it away! As usual the next time he entered the office he had his hat on. I removed it from his head and tossed it into the waste can. After treatment was finished, he retrieved it from the can, smiled and laughed. From that day on, he always wore that hat and we had many joking conversations thereafter.
I always looked forward to seeing Brian every time he came in, his smile and sense of humor will certainly be missed. He was always a joy to be around.
I'm sure God has welcomed him into his kingdom.
Again, please know how saddened my wife, Valerie and I were to hear about Brian's passing and our prayers are with you, Fred, Georgia and family.
Sincerely,
Ronald E. Ostrander, D.C.
